Did you know that 20% of the gas in (and eventually out) of our system comes from the air we swallow? Smokers thrive on sucking in more air (smoky that it may be) so by definition they tend to be gassier (is that a word?) than the rest of us. Yet another reason non-smokers may shy away from those who light up! I figure if this fact could prompt one smoker to quit, I’ve done my job.

To be fair, drinking carbonated beverages and chewing gum also cause excess gas but smoking is by far the most dangerous and annoying of the three habits.
