Smoking? it's for the brainless

In cars, a coolant liquid is made to circulate continuously around various engine components, since you start the engine, till you turn the ignition off. This is to cool the engine and various mechanicals working at unimaginable speeds, which produce huge amounts of heat by friction. This is just the best method used now, too cool the engine. The coolant is always in contact with the cylinder surface, so that all the heat produced is absorbed by it. But the coolant liquid, which does all the cooling for the engine, is never let inside the cylinder. Because it is never the right method to cool an engine, and you’ll invariably break the engine if you let a few drops in.

There are certain similar cooling mechanisms in human beings as well. Bathing once or twice a day has been proven to be enough to keep our body temp down enough. Or taking the other way, to keep our body warmer we can go for hot bath or steam bath or whatever, but none of them will keep you warm for one whole day, because that is not the method to do it. The right method is to wear some clothes which will prevent you from being bitten by the cold. There are some other methods also; some of them are good, and some, really bad. One of the worst of them all is to pass some fumes, or smoke through all the possible paths in our body just to get warmer, or to get something else they feel is good, but in fact is as noxious as drinking ditchwater. They say it is fun, making some fumes by slowly burning some harmful nicotine [oh why, of all, that?], and like a tired steam engine, spit out the same smoke which went inside, minus the amount of smoke that got smeared inside the lungs. We see them doing it at bus stops, railway stations, airports, and seemingly everywhere, standing proudly, doing this, which I always feel is like calling out ‘I am a fool. See I am a fool. Is everyone seeing? I am a fool’. It is like pouring coolant inside the engine cylinder -which is obviously, very, very wrong.

I agree, it was the same God who made the lungs, and the smoke. But never were they made for each other. It is good for firemen to practice smoking, so that they can have a homely feel even in their highly risky fire accident situations, but if I were one of them, I’d prefer standing near a campfire all the day, instead of swallowing poisonous smoke. But for common men, it doesn’t make any deal of sense in doing so. After all, it doesn’t give you any sort of real pleasure or prestige or strength, or anything to the fair side of death.
