Answer 2

Well, assuming you're talking about the same quantity of smoke. I mean, a house fire will produce a lot more than a cigarette, so it's going to be worse. But lets say you've got the same amount of each type of smoke;
Cigarettes contain cyanide, formaldehyde, rat poison and hundreds of other chemicals which you're dragging in from a few milimetres away (also there is tar to think about, which is a byproduct of the smoke which deposits in your lungs and is the main carcinogen, or cancer causing element, in cigarettes).
By comparison, camp-fire smoke contains very few chemicals.
A house fire would also contain chemicals (from the burning plastics in your house) so it depends what you have in your house as to how dangerous it is, comparitively speaking.
Then again, lets say you smoke a pack a day. Over twenty years that's going to do a *lot* of damage, whereas you're not going to be involved in a lot of house fires (hopefully). So if you survive a house fire, the smoke you inhale won't have a lasting impact. Camp fires, being outside, won't be a problem unless you hold your head directly over the fire (though if you do that, I think smoke damage is the least of your worries).

i won't have self belief the countless solutions you have been given bearing directly to smoke detectors!!! There are 2 substantial varieties of smoke detector, one is an optical detector that works by using shining a mild emitting diode onto a black floor, if any debris enter the detector, they mild up the beam and a receiver triggers the alarm. The debris could be basically approximately something - smoke, steam, dirt, aerosol etc. the different substantial form of smoke detector is often happening as an ionisation detector, that almost perform with "scent" - smoke, toast, sturdy paint fumes, aerosols etc. (those are the main elementary battery variety detectors you purchase from the d-i-y keep). some platforms use twin detectors the place the two warmth or carbon monoxide will perform them, carbon monoxide is given off all fires and gasses, yet those detectors could be a situation, as even charging a vehicle battery or bleeding a radiator on the factor of them can activate them. on the top of all this, a mattress room is the region the place you mustn't smoke, there are extra fires by using smoking in bedrooms than in the different room interior the residing house, and commencing a window won't continuously do away with any scent, because it relies upon on air interior the residing house being extracted.

Answer 4

Cigarette smoke is worse than inhaling campfire smoke because of all the toxins added to the cigarettes. House fires can be as bad as cigarette smoke because of the plastics that burn.
You also have to think that you are exposed to a campfire or a house fire only occasionally (even firefighters wear protective respiratory gear when they enter housefires) but you smoke (thus exposing your body to the toxins) very frequently.

Answer 5

It depends on the wood used. There's a lot more poisonous wood out their. Than some would believe. Ask yourself, "have you ever woken up after camping with a headache or bad sinuses"? Know your wood, for fires. Hackberry,ceder, ect ect are all poisonous.
