To reach these estimated danger levels, the cigarettes must be smoked simultaneously and completely in a sealed 20-square-foot room with a nine-foot ceiling.

Can you even FIT a million cigarettes into a 20' x 20' x 9' room?

Let's see.

It will require a 2" diameter x 6" area for each cigarette to be lit and smoked, assuming the smoking machine is invisible. volume required = pi * 1^2 x 6 = 18.85 in^3. Multiply x 1,000,000 = 18,850,000 cu. in. required to smoke 1,000,000 cigarettes.

volume of room in cubic inches = 240 * 240 * 108 = 6,220,800.

OK, so I'm practicing engineering without a license.

It looks to me that it is physically impossible to generate enough carcinogen to get cancer.

Thank you! Your so right. I wished more people could see the irony of this.

We have your post, your confession. If you turn yourself in, we won't have to have the "burning tear gas through the windows" problem. If you really beg, I think you could be out in 7 to 10 years. 12 tops. Think of your children.
