The smoke from tobacco contains very small particles whose color varies with particle size and chemical makeup. Heated surface smoke is bluish due to highly oxidized particles, while smoke drawn into the mouth carries water and hydrocarbons that condense on these particles, producing a grayish color.

Greek superstitions linger among Greek peasants and educated
A native observer notes that old mythic beliefs persist in Greece affecting daily life. The belief that harm follows one’s gaze on the moon from the right shoulder appears alongside tales of the three fates the evil eye and vampires. The fates supposedly descend from Olympus after childbirth to debate a child’s fate. Women cover babies to avoid jealousy from old women, and Athenians also visit tombs near the city to sing of fates and future husbands. In Tacoma a dry kiln owned by McNewley & Co burned, destroying 1,600,000 shingles.
