Shisha Session Three best friends enjoy- ing each others compa- ny while having a shisha on the side at an outdoor food court. "We get to- gether every Wednesday to shisha. It is our way of keeping in touch." said one of the three friends. If any longer, it would become a tradition amongst them.

Cloud Chaser Cloud chasing refers to the Va- pouriser challenge when Vaper's (people who use Vapourisers) com- pete with each other to see who can blow a cloud of smoke to the furthest distance. Mark Ergus with his mint condition Vapouriser seems to be up to the challenge. But for now, he just vapes for the flavour and because blowing dense clouds of smoke is fun. A real human smoke machine.
Smoke Break "We can't smoke in the mall, so, here we are." said the man. Malls, restaurants, post office and almost anyplace indoors does not allow smoking indoors. Hence, smokers would have to exit the building and find a place to just chill and smoke. In this couples case, just beside the lane of the carpark exit will do. Smoke disperses through the air as they continue in their conversation.

Smoking In The Moonlight Where would be the best the place to smoke under the moon? Where else besides the roof. Up high where the wind is cool and the air is thin at 5:00 am in the morning. Don't forget to bring friends along to share the moment. And also to save you if you trip. An indescribable feeling.
