With a lack of tobacco control and regulation at the national level, Indonesia has been targeted by many national and transnational tobacco companies. The prevalence of youth smokers in Indonesia in 2005 was 38% among boys and 5.3% among girls. The aim of this study was to describe and analyse beliefs, norms and values about smoking among teenage boys in a rural setting in Java, Indonesia. Six focus group discussions with boys aged 13-17 years were conducted using a thematic discussion guide. Four themes were derived from the descriptive content analysis: (i) smoking as a culturally internalized habit, (ii) striving to become a man, (iii) the way we smoke is not dangerous and (iv) the struggle against dependency. Cultural resistance against women smoking in Indonesia remains strong. The use of tobacco in the construction of masculinity underlines the importance of gender-specific intervention. National tobacco control policy should emphasize a smoking-free society as the norm, especially among boys and men, and regulations regarding the banning of smoking should be enforced at all levels and areas of community. A comprehensive community intervention programme on smoking prevention and cessation should be a major focus of tobacco control policies in Indonesia.
Just curious. I live in an apartment and don't have a smoker so I've been using liquid smoke and it seems to be working well, but I'm curious what the advantages of real smoking are in comparison. I'm guessing people wouldn't use space on their property and invest 4 or more figures into building real smokehouses if there wasn't an improvement.
Have you ever installed Environmental Visual Effects? Its volumetric clouds are the single most performance-intense feature in all KSP graphics mods. Just that feature alone costs more FPS than the whole of what Scatterer does, for example. And those clouds are static objects. They are not dynamically generated, they don't get created or destroyed, don't need to calculate collision with solid objects (like the ground), and they don't interact with the physics simulation. Real launch smoke would have to do all of these things, and probably cost an order of magnitude more performance.
If you want better exhaust plumes in general, I recommend RealPlume Stock. It won't flood the area with volumetric smoke, but it does improve on the default graphics. And also, if you want to explore the effects of too much lingering engine exhaust graphics, try upping the particle count in the config by a factor of five or ten, and then launch some SRBs. It still won't come anywhere near what you envisioned above, but you'll still instantly see what I mean with "unplayable".
Really the best for our wedding. Easy buffet style. Minimal cost and great quality food. Plus my now husband really wanted to see me eat some ribs in my wedding dress. Haha. Even as the bride I went back for seconds.

Instructors have the potential for increased exposures due to the time they spend in smoke. It is especially important they are vigilant in protecting themselves from all exposures. Though it may seem unnecessary in a water-based smoke environment, the hazmat mantra of protection using Time, Distance, and Shielding applies to any environment which may contain toxins.
Adding a thermal mannequin to the bread and butter operations of search and vent, enter, isolate, search (VEIS), increases learning for firefighters. Rather than pretending a hose dummy is a victim, crews see a thermal signature in a realistically weighted dummy. A common challenge in thermal image training, the lack of thermal contrast is overcome with the technology of a thermal mannequin. After locating a victim using real world skills, the task of rescue is supported by real world mass and shape of these realistic mannequins.
Been using the Real Plume mod for a while and absolutely love it! However, I would like a bit more length to the "smoke trail" left behind, mostly when using SRB's. The default config is decent but more length/duration would be even better. What is the config file/entries that need to be edited to accomplish this?
Here a few shots, while the smoke is similar to what I have seen outside my window earlier today, the sun representation is no where near what I see (it is literally day-glow orange per the picture - taken from my iPhone just about 30 minutes ago - with no edits other than zooming in).
These are all handcrafted paint jobs using an individualized, serious paint process. The designs are organic, and no two will be exactly the same, making them unique. The painters use all different materials, including but not limited to; chrome flakes, crystals, and real smoke!
The Tillamook Zero Sugar beef jerky and meat sticks lineup boasts the same great taste as our real, hardwood smoked meat snacks, but with 0g of Sugar and 0g of Total Carbs per serving. With No Artificial Ingredients, some might call it a downright meat miracle!
We're dedicated to making America's best tasting beef jerky and smoked sausages, and have been doing it the old-fashioned way since 1975. It's not done 'til it's done right. Our commitment to craft is our family tradition. No corners cut, no compromises.
Some believe it's the mist from the Oregon Coast, others swear by the premium beef and real ingredients, but our master smokers will tell you that it's smoking our beef jerky over real hardwood that gives it its unparalleled taste. No shortcuts, just fire and smoke and patience. You can taste the difference.
Zero percent. It s actually kinda gross. It s harsher than weed, just like the fake tobacco is kinda harsher. You can t do (real weed) on a set. And also, it s like: What, I m gonna get high and ruin the next takes? C mon, time s money, baby.
Here is a slice on Y axis where you can see what I mean by -no backflip turbulences ... smoke reacts on collider movement but not exactly as in a real world ... part of vorticity is missing ... but like I mentioned for your purpose it could work ...
However, diacetyl is banned as an ingredient from e-cigarettes and e-liquids in the UK. It had been detected in some e-liquid flavourings in the past, but at levels hundreds of times lower than in cigarette smoke. Even at these levels, smoking is not a major risk factor for this rare disease.
Four out of 10 smokers and ex-smokers wrongly think nicotine causes most of the tobacco smoking-related cancer, when evidence shows nicotine actually carries minimal risk of harm to health. Although nicotine is the reason people become addicted to smoking, it is the thousands of other chemicals contained in cigarette smoke that causes almost all of the harm.
The evidence is clear that exposure to second hand smoke is harmful, which is why the UK has laws prohibiting smoking in enclosed public places and workplaces. These laws do not cover vaping and organisations are free to make their own policies on the use of e-cigarettes on their premises.
Our latest report found no evidence so far to support the concern that e-cigarettes are a route into smoking among young people. UK surveys show that young people are experimenting with e-cigarettes, but regular use is rare and confined almost entirely to those who already smoke. Meanwhile, smoking rates among young people in the UK continue to decline.
You'd gotta be kidding me. If vaping causes fluid buildup in lungs, people would have ruined lungs from taking hot showers. You inhale much more vapor in shower than you can vape in a single day. Stop spreading rumors like this which can prevent smokers to switch to vaping. You might be killing someone by doing so.
Excellent blog.
after a 38 year bad habit of 20-30 cigs a day i gave up on February 20th 2015 and started vaping and have not touched a cig since.
i have just passed 3 years and since then i have saved over 10,000 and not smoked 21,900 cigarettes.
its just a shame that we will undoutably still see false misleading fake news reports in the daily fail and mainstream newspapers and sadly people believe everything they read in the papers. once these reports are debuncked with actual facts i think they should be made to retract said reports with a disclaimer. just think how many more might take up this 95% safer option and it may even save their lives.

DJ, exactly the same as me! Quit smoking after 10 years of unfiltered roll ups, went on to a decent Ecig box mod (with 6mg juice) and haven't had a cigarette in over 2 years. Couldn't really ask for more from Ecigs than that.
It is trading one bad habit for another, but it's a much safer habit. Some people have no empathy at all - if smoking was that easy to quit, why do hundreds of millions around the world still smoke? We can't get all smokers to quit, so an alternative is to provide a safer option that satisfies smokers of their habits.
I do apologise, Dan, as I did not express myself clearly. Of course smoking e cigs is preferable to tobacco. What I was referring to is the impact that smoking (both tobacco and e cigs) have on peoples lifestyles. If you are somewhere where you can't smoke/vape, but you want to, you are under stress. (Strange how a habit that people think relaxes them actually stresses them). People who have a habit that forces them to go outside and stand in the cold have a second class lifestyle, and this is why people should free themselves from vaping. That is what I meant when I said you may as well smoke; you have the same restrictions placed upon your lifestyle and freedom of movement. When I quit smoking (60 to 100 a day) I was over the moon. I had my freedom back. Had I turned to e cigs I would have had exactly the same restricted lifestyle that I had before, and the frustrations that went with it. I recently went to lunch with a friend and she spent more time standing outside the restaurant than she did inside. I have seen people sitting outside coffee shops shivering in the cold because their coffee and smoking habit is so strong. In my neighbourhood vaping isn't allowed anywhere (that I frequent), so people have to leave the company they are in and go outside to vape. I would not wish to live like this. Smoking anything just imprisons people and forces them to live life on the outside. As for the scientific evidence, it depends which experts you listen to and believe. At least with e cigs you are not inhaling tar. Nicotine is a deadly poison but you only inhale tiny amounts and it is quickly expelled from the body. One thing I can say is that many people feel sick when they inhale the fumes from e cigs, including myself, and as no-one knows what chemicals they are inhaling (and that is an absolute fact that can't be argued with) no one can say what the long term impact on an e cig users health will be. Given that e cigs haven't been around for that long I would say that any scientist pronouncing them safe is perhaps being a tad rash and hasty. I quit smoking in 2002 and have never had so much as a craving to put a cigarette between my lips. To quit a smoking habit only to find yourself with an e cig habit isn't the best option as it will continue to curtail your freedom. Every time I see someone smoking I think "thank God I don't do that anymore." That is real freedom.
