The smoke is a critical operating component. Very difficult to get the smoke back in once it leaks.

This is why we say fog in the theatre.

Fog is fine. Smoke is a situation.

We have a smoke chamber built-in in our house from our grandparents (farmers). Mother used it once, it's a mess.

Have you tried having sex with other people, instead? You'd have to dig less holes that way.
