It's 2026. I I'm no Ichthyologists, but I think they'd be vaping.

Well, the water enters the gills via the mouth...so obviously it would smoke using it's mouth to inhale and gills to exhale smoke, making option 1 the only answer.

The cool way

I mean, do you put your cigarettes on your mouth or in your nostrils?

How could a fish smoke underwater?

[–] jobbies@lemmy.zip 1 points 15 minutes ago

Obviously it leaves the water for a cigarette break. Have you never seen fish smoking on the river bank?

Perhaps his existential crisis is a real "fish out of water" moment

If you understood how badly Big Tabacco wants to get rich, you would not ask that question.

I’ve been a smoker since 1993.

I just wanna know how to smoke underwater

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 1 points 24 minutes ago

They don't care how long you've been smoking, I guess it has more to do with how much money you have. Maybe they figured out they can't suck you any more dry then you already are. Or they dont think you would spend enough to justify the R&D. Because i am quite sure, if people would not spend money for abovewater cigs but would for underwater cigs, they would find a way to make money from that.

Do you smoke through your nose?

If I remember correctly, fishes actually "breath" water through their mouth, and then pump it through their gills to extract the oxygen.

Definitely 1 cause the carp strikes me as a fish that wants to look cool.
