Smoke Alarms!

[jonny_lech]

There's a smoke alarm in my room.

I smoke hookah in here all the time as I do not own a TV and thus I watch movies on my PC. It's great. Booze + hookah + movie. The hookah has NEVER set off the smoke alarm.

A ciggarette was lit in my room. It was going for all of about, oh, 15 seconds before the smoke alarm went off.

I just have to wonder, why is it that tons of hookah smoke from a 2+ hour sessions won't set it off, but 15 seconds of a cigg will.

a couple posts in there say how a smoke detector works but why not go for the big fish

also the smoke from a cig is different from smoke from a hookah. one is mostly vapor (hookah) and the other is actual smoke from shredded burning tobacco leaves (cig)
