Holy smokes! NASA released this image of the Los Angeles fires as seen from a satellite in space. It was taken mid-morning on Aug. 30 and shows the smoke plumes rising approximately 4.3 miles above sea level.
Science Buzz A compelling PSA from College Humor about the dangers of smoking.
I wonder if I sound so toolish when I go on one of my Being-a-smoker-should-not-make-me-a-second-class-citizen rants. I should just quit. [Everything is Terrible]

President Barack Obama has signed the strongest anti-smoking measure ever, calling it an extraordinary accomplishment that will help keep children from getting hooked on cigarettes.
Tech Buzz Dude. We should totally, like, *takes bong hit*, have this site, where you submit all your great ideas, while you're high! And that's exactly what highDEAS (pronounced: hi-de-as) is! Go on and vote on your favorite pothead ideas like Doritos Powder and larger size ketchup packets.
A crazy trend among kids reveals itself to the public? I am wary (mostly due to past “trends” proven to be untrue i.e. JENKEM), but whatever this is, it cannot be good. Kids, stay away from Smarties.
Unfortunately this video depicts exactly what the headline suggests. It's so awful and yet, let's be honest, a tiny bit adorable also. But so wrong!
Science Buzz Long after second-hand smoke has disappeared, third-hand smoke — the new health threat! — clings to clothes, hair, carpeting and furniture. This seems especially worrying for kids or drunks — anyone who spends a lot of time on the floor.
Mandatory new images on cigarette packs in the U.K. graphically depict bad things smoking can do to your body (not for the faint of heart). You have to admit, the fact that this guy still sports a ‘stache and goatee is pretty amazing.
Culture Buzz Photo art made from nothing more than everyday smoke. No one’s ever been a big fan of smoke in general, but with the right lighting and a little help from Photoshop, it’s making a huge comeback.
Celebrity Buzz Her father, Mitch, says in an interview that Amy has been diagnosed with “early stage emphysema.” It’s the cigarette and crack combination that is doing her in, apparently.
Tech Buzz These electronic devices light up just like cigarettes but contain no tar or carcinogens. Used as a smoking cessation aid, or just to get a nicotine fix when smoking is not allowed the e-cigarettes can be filled with mint, fruit or nicotine cartridges which create a vapor which seems like smoke when exhaled. But are they ‘cool’? What would James Dean think?
Style Buzz April issue of Flair magazine has a spread featuring model Flavia Oliveira smoking Nat Sherman Fantasia cigarettes in bright, spring-colored hues. I just can’t think of a more glamorous or self-destructive way to accessorize an outfit.
Science Buzz The new smoking-cessation wonder drug really does help people quit, but apparently it also causes nightmares, blackouts, paranoia, depression, hallucinations, and even suicide. Well, no one ever said quitting was easy. The FDA is investigating, and stated recently that a connection between Chantix and serious psychiatric problems appears “increasingly likely.”
