Blue and Gray Tobacco smoke.

Did you ever notice while enjoying
your favorite cigar that the smoke that
curls up from the burning end Of the
weed" is blue, while that exhaled
from the mouth Is of a whitiSh gray !
The explanation Of this oddity is not
far to seek. The wreath from the fiery
end of the cigar Is in the shape Of In
flniteslmal dust particles, and all such
particles (eyen the blue of the atmos
phere is explained in the same way re
feet the blue color. In the case Of The
exhaIed smoke the fine particles have
united with the moisture of the breath
and have thereby become several folds
larger than those escaping direct from
the burning tobacco. This being the
case, they have become large enough
to reflect the white light, which gives
the exhaled smoke an entirely different
color.
