Smokeable glowsticks

Glowsticks which may be smoked when the glow is exhausted

Activated like a normal chemical glowstick, these however would have the glowing chemicals incorporated into a matrix of tobacco (and possibly other substances as desired by the purchaser).

When the users depraved drug-fuelled craving for glowing objects had abated, the accompanying craving for something to smoke could also be conveniently assuaged.

Thanks, [bitmonkey], for the opportunity... Bubbling_20Turn_20Signals

       From Howstuffworks: "The chemical reaction in a light stick usually involves several different steps. A typical commercial light stick holds a hydrogen peroxide solution and a solution containing a phenyl oxalate ester and a fluorescent dye."   

       From Wikipedia, H202 is corrosive, bent and is used as an emetic by vets. And phenol is toxic. And Oxalic acid irritates the lining of the gut when consumed, and can prove fatal in large doses.

       Clearly some other less toxic form of illumination would have to be used, the devil always lying in the details.   

       I am persuaded however, that those who would buy this product, being smokers, would be relatively unconcerned about the health implications.

       Anyone who sets fire to something then intentionally concentrates and inhales the fumes, is not primarily concerned with their health.
