While perfectly explainable, it's still pretty cool.

I remember seeing people who could blow smoke rings. Don't see too much of that anymore. And for that I am glad.

I do find it ironic that there are people all around the world with their knickers all up in a twist about PFAS, and there are millions of largely young people inhaling Lord knows what, and there is barely a peep.

Got in a heated discussion (go figure ) with these young people about vaping and that there’s a good possibility their health is going to suffer.

it’s just a matter of time, when these very same ‘young people’ will develop respiratory problems and will blame others for their own poor decisions and actions.

Barely a peep? Our government has banned the "over the counter" sale of vapes. They are available, on prescription only, from pharmacies. There are also plans to increase the legal age for buying cigarettes yearly. I will add that it is fairly rare to see someone smoking nowadays. Thankfully!

I also remember my parents blowing smoke rings to entertain us kids.

Here's something even cooler: Dolphins blowing bubble rings and playing with them.

Usually from the intake. In my very distant past, I do recall flames exiting from the exhaust however. Seemed to coincide with mass consumption.

If you could eat a can of beans,and blow rings underwater that would be a real a talent! If you covered the beans with lots of hot sauce,you might even blow rings of fire(apologies to J Cash).

Along with Rixter's post above, it is a remarkable display of intelligence that these animals engage in an activity that (I think) would have nothing to do with their survival or procreation. But then again, maybe it does impress the other sex?
