Do TB sufferers still smoke cigarettes, I’ve been told it’s the worst feeling in the world to smoke when you have TB

They smoke. They even try to bump us for cigarettes

Something hella interesting is "burning" an oxygen flame in a pure gas environment though

 

[Cosmik Debris]

Oxygen does not actually burn, so I don't know where your explosion will be coming from

Anything saturated with oxygen will burn. if ignited. Even the paint on your wall. Steel can be cut by combining oxygen with acetylene, which burns at a low temperature with smoke without oxygen, Hence the word oxidiser - Oxygen. Geddit? That red glow of your braai coal is the carbon oxidising.

Fire triangle - Oxygen, fuel, heat. Basic fire fighting.

Yup, fully agree, but between rapid exothermic oxidisation (OK I would have called it burn but we are talking science here) and what we tend to view as an explosion., I dont

This is silly. Some people smoke, some don't. There is no hard and fast rule. I've seen people give up smoking and I've seen people continue to smoke. I've seen people with terrible lungs continue to smoke which causes repeated exacerbations of COPD and I've seen people give up smoking after far less serious problems.

Yes one guy told you it was terrible and you applied it to everyone. Like when Putin tells u Ukraine has Nazis you apply it to everyone. Nope. It's all subjective and some people stop, others don't. There is no hard and fast rule. Sometimes people smoke when they're stressed, if being in a hospital is not stressful, I don't know what is.

Saying what?
(not going to unblock Defcloneaccount to see a word)

Making fun of Bheki Cele

The thing about his father being called a garden boy and his mother being called a kitchen girl as a reason why he should not do his job when asked by Ian Cameron.

MY FATHER WAS CALLED AN X AND MY MOTHER WAS CALLED A Y, THAT IS WHY Z IS RACIST.

Why would you be stressed in a hospital, you are surrounded by people that want to help you, they do whatever ask them to, free food, TV, phone
Where’s the stress

Huh? Hospitals are depressing, even for visitors. And no, I don't think they do anything you ask them to...they do what's within the realms of their profession and influence.

Hospitals can be a stressor for some. I myself really don't like hospitals.

Strange that your mind went there

Most people are very happy to go to hospital, and very happy to leave it.

My first trip to Moz on LAM. On the return trip I watched out the window as the guy refueling the aircraft was smoking a cigarette.

I had a poephoel knyp of note. I fear my hospital trips are going to be the same after reading this!

 

[Geoff.D]

Sure they do

free food,

My dogs eat better than hospital swill

TV,

Set and locked to SABC 1

Don't sneak out into confined spaces. That hissing might just be Oxygen leaking from the white pipe running across the room.

Had a guy who inserted said fag into his tracheostomy, he was that desperate for a smoke.

About the only part that's accurate. It's like tax, you have to and have no choice, but would prefer the need for it to not be there.
