Spontaneous combustion is when someone just catches on fire automatically it hasn't been explained but can it be true that if you put on cologne or perfume and then inhale a cigarette or spray air freshener and then smoke a cigarette or even turn on the oven after spraying highly flammable products cant this start spontaneous combustion

first Spontaneous Combustion is the igniting of liquid or a vapor.
Most of what your talking about is vapor. You answer is yes flammable liquids that become a mist can work like a vapor and ignition can take place.
Example, gasoline vapor will lift and move away from a car in the winter time. But in summer the vapors will flow along the ground, like at a gas station and if the guy next to you has a car that back fires your vapors can ignite and leave you standing in a ball of flame.
A fuel tanker has to cone off 50 feet away from him all cars and trucks so a hot motor or spark can't cause his load to ignite and blow the tanks out of the ground.
People don't understand how dangerous gasoline is tell they see or hear about a fire then it is talked about. The flash point of gasoline is 122 to 127 degrees of temp. You can get it on your clothes and walk and rub your legs together and go up in flames. It is that easy to get hurt with gasoline. This is spontaneous combustion! boom!

This isn't spontaneous combustion... but yes, if you spray flammable liquids all over yourself, then light a flame immediately, there's a small chance the liquid would ignite.
It's close to impossible.

spontaneous internal combustion has not been explained. but, yes a person could catch fire if they were warring flammable fluids and then got to close to an ignition source.

Spontaneous combustion has never been physically observed by scientists, only the results of such supposed combustions have.
It is not know what causes it and there are a wide range of theories.

If the oven starts the combustion,then it isn't spontaneous.

Yes. The fire particles can produce a chemical reaction with the gas particles of the chemical and create combustion.

it isn't spontaneous then...you have 2 items which are known to react this way in these instances.
spontaneous combustion is when something just catches for no known reason...usually internally.

If you have the fuel (flammable cologne etc..) and the source of ignition (cigarette) then it's NOT spontaneous combustion, now is it . . HELLOOOOOOO????

you may clarify how a cow's abdomen absorbs nutrition via procuring a cow's abdomen from the industry (confident, they sell those, exceptionally in Asian supermarkets) and slightly of learn. This challenge facilitates to describe how cells take in capability. The evaluation of differences between the female and male minds (perfect-brained, left-brained) via carrying out exams is likewise a reliable concept.
