If a person who has smoked all their life is cremated, will the process produce cigarette smoke?

  Cremation happens in a very high temperature, able to basically turn the body into a vapour before the vapour then burns. The heat might very well be enough to alter the chemical compounds enough that the resulting gases can no longer be called cigarette smoke.

  Yes, if they died from eating hundreds of cigarettes

  If I take a cigarette, remove the tobacco, and put it in a pipe and smoke it, did it produce cigarette smoke or pipe tobacco smoke?

  If I set up a condenser, and capture a bunch of cigarette smoke in the air from someone who’s smoking, and then dry that and light it on fire, is that cigarette smoke or cigarette smoke smoke?

  I think this is more a taxonomy question than anything, and the answer depends on the above questions, lol.

  Do the math.

  The combined weight of both lungs is less than three pounds.

  Even if the lungs were completely covered with tobacco tars, it wouldn’t be more than one pound.

      Which letter in ‘do the math’ confused you?
