Tiny potassium pellets are held within a pressurized chamber of inert gas. A trigger mechanism isolates one pellet in a breech and then jets the pellet out of a bore on a small burst of gas. The burst propels the pellet a small distance on a trajectory that you've planned carefully, as it ignites on contact with air.

Makes me want to start smoking! Probably best to learn with a pipe, so you have a larger surface to catch the ball of potassium.

I can highly recommend smoking. It's really, really nice. These days, it also marks you out as an affluent rebel.

Smoking sewage marks you as an effluent rebel.

^That's ok, just rub turmeric on the adjacent sides of your index and forefinger, no one will ever guess that you're a non-smoker..

/ no-one will ever guess/ When you laugh and they fail to hear the guttural gurgles of your deep phlegm reserves, they may catch on.

Nitroguanidine is better, the yellowing penetrates several layers of skin and lasts for ages. Easy to get, it's in many types of airbag. 2,4 - DNPH is just as good, but don't let it dry out. Or picric acid ... easy to make.
