May 22 2007Smoking jacket

Fiona Carswell on her Smoking Jacket:
The jacket has a built-in pair of lungs on the front. As the wearer smokes, the lungs fill up with the exhaled cigarette smoke and begin to gradually darken over time. This project was a result of exploring reflective design as it relates to the body, behavioral choices, and information displays.
The jacket probably would've been more effective if she used real lungs. Probably more illegal too. Just like my bald eagle jacket made from real bald eagles.

I'm confused. how does that work?

OH. the exhaled smoke.
I see.
Well. That's morbid.
A jacket especially for smokers. How delightful!

Yeah, I tried the Fiona Carswell wanking shades... progressive darkning for every stroke of my love length.
Needless to say I was impressed but my house guests were less than so.
As smoking and wanking in public places is now banned in the UK (once England joins in the fun) ,Fiona Carswell has had to tout her pap elsewhere.
Fecking Big Brother, I can't even curl off a turd in the street without someone complaining ... My grandfather didn't get shot in the nads by the Germans for nothing, I believe he was defending my freedom to wet myself in public..or something like that?

Dang. I thought it was going to be a jacket that let you smoke, but not bother other non-smokers because you blow the smoke into your jacket. Maybe it works that way. Where can I find one?

That seems incredible stupid. Obviously no smoker is going to wear this. And if nonsmokers want to where it and smoke to prove your point, well welcome to the club.

I don't know who this fiona chick is but she needs to suck on my pole instead of that fag.

So, am I supposed to believe this is a jacket for smokers to get them to not smoke? In this day and age, most smokers know that their lungs are going to get black and disgusting. Gotta give her an A for effort though.

O.k. This now takes the cake as the stupidest thing I've seen.
No, wait, 2nd stupidest, I have seen Fiona's mom.

exhaled smoke is worse than the smoke breathed in threw the filter ya dumb cunts :)
16. penguin - June 17, 2007 2:19 PM
no it isn't, mainstream smoke, the smoke that comes from the end of the cigarette is much more dangerous than sidestream smoke that comes from their lungs, and is already filtered more than the filter on the end of the cigarette can provide.

help me, i smoke, only really light fags, but my mum dosent know and if she finds out she will kill me. she will kill me even more if she finds out that the only way i can smoke is by steeling her fags. help me to stop PLEASE p.s. im alot younger than you think i am

pls smoke kill
20. laura ash - February 18, 2009 10:25 AM
hey, this comments for emma above
im 14 and smoke lightly,
i think if your mum found out you would be dead, like me my mum would kill me
maybe telling your mum to quit will stop the suply of fags and getting a friend who doesnt smoke to talking to you about quitting
dont worry about it and just think about what could happen from this,
lung cancer, mouth cancer, any type of cancer
