i would imagine they'd have more manageable cigarettes, to begin with. the size ratio here is simply unwieldy and unpleasant for all involved. then there's the consideration of what type of fish are we focusing on? from what i understand lungfish may be able to enjoy a cigarette in a more traditional way.
And don't you think that's charming, if they smoke from the side? A) looks badass, like if there were gangsters in the ocean they would look like this fish and they would do fish tricks with their cigs.
they're fascinating, really, possible insights as to how the aquatic evolved into land dwelling.
i suppose they could simply smoke from the mouth for the 'look,' so to speak, rather than the unhealthy nicotine intake. i also realize now they may burn themselves with B. this concerns me.
Oh no, we wouldn't want them to burn their scales at all ...! A) has to be the answer. If only because the fish would be hurt. I want them to be able to enjoy their vices at the very least, otherwise what's the point of it being a vice?
i suppose they could use electric cigarettes, which would likely be just as dangerous in the water. i'm afraid this question is not without many dangers to the fish.
i'm settling on A, for the time being. it seems the safest option, and frankly i think it would be against the Lord's will to encourage His aquatic creatures to become addicted to nicotine.
Humans are addicted to nicotine as well and they're also god's creatures following your line of reasoning. I think fishes have a right to be as miserable as they please with whatever vices they see fit to inflict on themselves. Let them be happy that way.
Some electrical equipment can be modified to withstand the pressure of the ocean, right? Maybe if the technology is advanced enough, they will be able to have e-cigs with no danger at all to the fish.
Having covered that, the question remains to be A or B.
i would hardly wish to deny fish their free will, granted to them by God and this scenario. very well, as long as we're not trying to push the habit on them. i can't condone it, i'm afraid.
given the intensity of technology in this world i'm sure it'd be possible, though finding someone who cared enough to do so may prove challenging. unless you're putting your brilliant mind and future to this pursuit.
i still believe A. given they do not have any sort of appendage to grab the cigarettes catching one in their mouth would likely be easier than B.
No, no. For the small sample of fishes that we are talking about, smoking is their preferred vice and we are not pressuring them to develop one for the sake of human curiousity.
And I'm afraid technology isn't really my strongest suit, though I'll always be an advocate for innovation and vices in moderation.
I thought B before, but I'm inclined to agree with you. Furthermore, I feel that it's very difficult to do any sort of cigarette tricks when the fish has to hold it on the side of their body!
well i am quite glad to know this hypothetical situation absolves us of any guilt in the unfortunate habits of these fish.
you are still young, the sky is the limit, giorno. that aside, i agree. if a primary intention here is for the fish to look 'cool,' as it were, then cigarette tricks are a must. the gill method would be far too unwieldy. i do wonder how a fish would be able to make smoke rings. perhaps in bubble form?

If fishes smoked cigarettes how would they do it?
A.
or
B.
????????????
text, haru i didn't know what to expect and here we are
[then fucking three minutes later]
are we assuming the cigarette can be lit and used underwater?
never doubt my power
For our purposes, let's assume that all fishes have an equal and unrivaled opportunity to smoke underwater in one capacity or another.

i would say 2 though. it's more charming.

Do you smoke? I won't judge if you do, I only want to see some cool tricks. Otherwise I'd have to ask someone else.
no subject
no, i find it a filthy habit. perhaps jotaro kujo does?
no subject
Jotaro and I are such good friends, despite his filthy habit. I'm sure he'll indulge me.
no subject
yes, the expression he has when you are involved can only be called fond. good luck on your quest, go with God's light.
