Cigarette smokers

For all you stogie smokers who are still hanging on to your cigarettes here's one to think about.
Last nite for supper I decided on pancakes and bacon. After I cooked my bacon I put a couple of dobs of pancake batter on the griddle, kicking up a lot of smoke. Didn't think much of it ,finished dinner and stayed on the computer for a while.
after about 45 minutes or so I got up to do the dishes, went into the kitchen and couldn't breathe.
Apparantly my lungs got loaded with co2 and left no more room for oxygen. I have emphysema from long years of cigarette smoking..
I got a ride in an ambulance and 3-4 hectic scary hours in the emergency room.
I don't mean to lecture anyone as it makes me mad as hell to get lectured. But I thought it might be helpfull to share that experience.

Yeah, I'm curious if you smoked a cigar when you were on the computer, before you went back into the kitchen? Also, does cigar smoke have the same effect as bacon smoke on your emphysema?:smiley13:

My dad has emphysema, has lost 1/2 a lung, and wouldn't dream of smoking anything except his great-grandkids' asses when they need it. I'll warn him to stay away from the bacon too.:smiley2:

Yea I do . Don't inhale though. Ever here that one before? I am checking up on the co2 output of cigars. If too high , may not be for long. that would be a heartbreaker cause I love-em so and I have about 500 preemies plus a whole lot of others. If I have to stop they are going to the firefighters who literaly saved my "bacon" last nite.

No, I wasn't smoking while on the computer. I am checking on the co2 output of cigars now. As far as the bacon ,it was the smoke along with the co2, they told me any smoke will do.
