Are we damaging our lungs by inhaling smoke?

I'm sure you and Drex could organise a cross-over study. Maybe 50 could jog and 50 Tai Chi, then swap. I'd be happy to hold the clip-board.......

Though the slow deliberate movements of Tai Chi are exactly what you want when examining bees!

Bonging?? I hardly remember my bonking days, let alone bonging, whatever that is.....

Teenagers version of a shisha pipe, usually made from a plastic bottle and used to smoke hashish..... Rough enough to make you cough your lungs out!!

I believe the steep cycle climb up formidable Blackboy hill in Bristol back to the student halls on the Downs were made much easier after a night in the scrumpy pubs with a sniff of amyl nitrate …

So, how does 'very slow and gentle' lead to a pulse rate of 120???

When your resting heart rate is 110?

I use dry rotten birch.

I can understand you liking birch - I believe you Finns enjoy a hot sauna in winter, followed by rolling in the snow naked, then beat each other with birch twigs?

Crikey, that's a big smoker you are using @Finman

I wonder if they mean "vapour" where they've written "steam"? Having steam anywhere near wax comb doesn't sound like a great plan.

Plus £15 for every refill! I wonder how long they last!

Yes, @BMH calls it a vaporiser in his review. In comparison the Thornes website is a little scant on information.

I'm not sure I'd be worried about coming home (as they suggest) smelling of a bonfire. It's when I come home smelling of sweat, blood and bee alarm pheromone that I know things are bad
