I took my Wicked Laser Core over to my sisters house which has several smokers. I was surprised at first at how visible the beam was compared when useing it at my house. No one was smoking at the time and hadn't for a couple hours and the beem was very visible w/ standard lighting.
In my home w/ no smokers It is very hard to see the been under most normal conditions even w/ lights out.
Guess that smoke hangs around for a very long time after everyone stops smoking.

As long as you can still smell it, there are still particles in the air.

It is amazing how long cig. smoke hangs around. Also how nasty it is. (yes, I do smoke)
We use to smoke in our Apt. before we bought the house.
When we took down the pictures on the walls, Holy sh#t, 10 shades lighter under them, W/brown streaks running down the walls.
Right then we decided, no smoking in the new house.

So emagine what the inside of your lungs looks like if the walls looked that way and the walls weren't even smoking the cig's, since you are giving your new house a break from the cig's maby your lungs would like the same treatment :whistle: I only mention this because I was stupid enough to spend 30 years smoking myslf and that is realy the only thing I regret doing with my life, now I have copd it's so much fun, keep smoking and you can enjoy it also......

Lets be frank here. The visible particles in smoke are actually the ones that do us little harm. Sources that put out larger (um sized) particles will make anyone cough, and that process clears those particles form the airways quite effectively.

The real danger in smoke is in the particles that you can hardly see, which make their way into the lungs but dont get coughed back up that readily. Unfortunately, there is very little that can be done about those. The filters on cigarettes dont catch them very well, but for good reason: its very hard to design a filter that passes 'useful' substances like nicotine while blocking the smallest particles of tar at the same time... especially when such filter has to be zero-cost an disposable in the form of a cigarette butt.

Generally, if I want to 'smoke' my brighter beams, all I have to do is light 1-2 matches in a dark room and let them 'smoke out'; let that disperse, and the beams become very visible.

So with a bright laser, it really doesn't take much. Likely probably why lasers are used in particle measurement systems, too.
