  (1) I HOPE that the silly risky device that he showed in his message was
merely a joke!!
  (2) Poor man if he can't do without a fag for that long. The more he needs a
fag, the more reason NOT to let him have one. Time he got used to managing
without them and kick the habit, to save his health and his money. Smoking and
gum chewing are @#%$& dirty scruffy habits.
  (3) Having to rush a lit fag to a surfacing diver as if it was a life-saving
injection is a totally unnecessary complication during the already complicated
operation of recovering surfacing divers, and may distract a man from watching
out for more important things.
