Why do I see a blue haze around cigarettes?

Question

I see it in the dark or low light, very similar to the way cameras capture it. If you're unfamilar: take a picture of a lit cigarette, and the cherry will appear pale blue. Or a spot next to it will. I see the cherry itself, but just as bright, there's an opaque pale blue streak behind it if it's in motion or a blue dot if it jerks slightly.

I also see a purple haze around red lights. Sometimes, if the light is very small, the purple takes the form of a figure 8 with pointy ends. Like a lens-flare.

My boyfriend doesn't see these things at all, or only if he squints. My theory is that it's a defect of my poor vision. Like, the lense of my eye is mal-formed or something. I'm not on drugs or anything. I need glasses but don't wear them - when I do, these things are very hard to spot. I've also noted that without glasses, the halo around lights is much, much larger and appears in seperated rings of color.

So. Is it possible that fuzzy vision can affect my color perception?

I have no idea why the first four answers suggest I quit smoking. I don't smoke tobacco or anything else. No drugs or medication of any variety.

Answer 1

When you do it is time to quit smoking.

Answer 2

Well, one theory, is probably yours. Another theory is you having synesthesia. Which is not a disease or anything crazy. Its something that goes off in your mind that shows a color for letters or a color for something else. Try taking one of the synesthesia tests from a search. Its either that, or possiblly colorblindness.
