Rainwater and cigarettes

What is the link in between these two? Rainwater and cigarette smoke? Well, none actually if we take away the case of a smoker smoking his stick and puffing under the rain.

First of all, to the smokers, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against you guys who have been addicted to inhale the smoke at your own risk and risk people surround you who share the same aerosol smoke. A pity to you guys since the price of your pack is going to go up even more and soon the 14-sticks pack will be banned so you have two choices, to stop or to spend more and buy larger pack.

What amuses me is how people me included, react and engage ourselves toward both things. Let us look at the rainwater. We often trap in the rain while we are outdoor, at the open market, at the football field, in the park, at carnival. When ever rain begins, we will all looking for a shelter or immediately cover up our head with placard, umbrella or anything for the sake of not getting soak wet after that. Okay, put aside the acid rain or the furious thunderstorm which if unlucky can fry us carbonised. But, covering our head or looking for the shelter is our common sense.

Now, let us look at the other one, the cigarette smoke. What we do when we have next to us a friend or a stranger who is deep in his / her puffs, inhaling the aerosol smoke and then happily share with others nearby? In many cases, we just ignored, the most we'll do is to move to another place next to it or just look at the direction of the smoke and try to avoid the bulk of it. Sometimes when the guy puffs a clove flavoured stick, we think it is a nice smell...Little known by the public that at the lid of the lit cigarette the temperature can reach 700 deg C (1292 dec F). Taking the number of smokers at one time, I wonder how much globally the impact of that 700 deg C toward the global warming ( I am becoming emotional here)

My point is, we sometimes or most of the times, react to the wrong cause and sadly it is what had been socially accepted.
