Girl: I guess old people used to be able to blow smoke rings. But you sure can't make rings out of plain old breath. Boy: Maybe stinky breath sticks to itself better. Frazz; You need a bag of corn nuts why? Girl: For an experiment.
Actually, I’d like to dispute that premise. I have often blown “steam rings”, but you need optimal lighting or a dark background to see them. And, for what it’s worth, the action creates a toroidal vortex in the air whether you can see it or not.

Old people still blow smoke rings, it’s just not tobacco any more…

Pork rinds may provide the proper molecular adhesion.

@alexikakos, re: vortex-cannon video
Wow! What fun! But what’s that smoke-generating thingy they have?

My father used to fascinate us with his smoke rings. Now I lie on my back in a pool and make my own.
