I always exhale my cigarette smoke into a catalytic converter. All
remaining hydrocarbons and other emissions enter the recirculation
valve which is powered by a solar air pump, and recirculated into my
lungs for more pleasure and enjoyment. All that remains after the
processing is pure water which I cough into my esophagus and later
release when I urinate.
