Smoking with altitude

[TJCoro]

Science!

?At high altitudes the lower pressure lets molecules vaporise more readily, improving the smell and flavour.?

found this if this helps

Haha! I'll believe it when chica butteredballs believes it. The end.

Ummm, Ray Jay. I think you meant to type "chico."


Haha! Maybe....

Cigars on planes weren't that unusual once ..... http://www.cigarauctions.co.uk/punch...es-p-9271.html ..... I can remember coming back from Cyprus when the front of the plane was packed with Greek or Turkish Cypriot passengers and cabin air was almost solid smoke.

I'm sure I saw on QI once that the air quality on planes was actually better when people were allowed to smoke as the air was constantly being replaced with fresh new air, but since smoking has been banned the carriers just keep the same stale air in for the whole flight

I'm not sure how true it is (I've taken QI facts with a slight pinch of salt as I don't think you always get the full picture) but its an interesting thought that smokers used to do non-smokers a favour by smoking in a confined space with them

You should see the looks you get when you light up a cigar on a plane. Miserable gits

I watched a program a few months back with TV Chef Heston Blumenthal and the prog was aboutthe food they serve on planes and they said that they need to ad extra salt and pepper in the recipes to make it taste better as the pressure/altitude or reduction in oxygen did something to the blood and or taste buds.

Good for airlines. They can serve terrible food, and blame it on pressure in cabin

This may make a smoke more smooth or enjoyable less ruff ???

I'm sitting in work listening to a young guy going on about how much more pleasurable smoking a cigarette was at high altitude in the Rockies, blah blah blah,

Rockies aren't serious altitude Peejay .... Elbert, the highest is only 14,500ft .... some of the Alps are higher .... serious is Everest at 23,000ft. Breathing is difficult at that sort of height, smoking a cigar would be almost impossible for anyone who wasn't a Nepalese Sherpa.

Don't know about altitudes but i do know my cigars tasted differen't than they normaly do in another country
anyone else found the same .

When I was a traffic cop I used to tell the occasional oik that they had an altitude problem and when they said 'Don't you mean attitude' told them they were getting above their station. It amused me, ho hum. tumbleweed.jpeg

I actually misread the title of this and thought pj said smoking with attitude.....images of John 'going all gangsta' on us... (think michell and webbs spitfire pilots sketches).

Yeah I misread it to. The image I had was of an American biker, probably because I've been watching Sons of Anarchy recently

I just love a play on words

Last time I was at any altitude I was in no state to smoke.
