The dangers of smoking

Today I went out for lunch with Mr X (not his real name), and Ms Y (not her real name) to have a meal (a real meal, lunch, actually) at Wholegrain Mall (not its real name). After the meal (yes, the real meal I was talking about), I mentioned to Mr X (remember this is not his real name) that I needed to go and buy something and Ms Y (remember this is also not her real name) was going together with me to the shop.

Mr X (yes correct, not real name) mentioned he will take a smoke-break and meet up with us when we were done. So Ms Y (ya not real name) and I went and did what we need to do, then we went to meet Mr X (not his real name).

When we met with Mr X (the same not real name one), we smelt a burnt paper smell and were speculating where the smell came from, and what could have been burning. Mr X (the not real the name) had quickly concluded that we should get our butts out of Wholegrain Mall asap so that we don't get cooked if there was some real cooking to be done.

With hastened steps, we swif

tly made our way to the car, and Mr X (...) deftly directed the car to the carpark exit. When we were out from the Wholegrain Mall carpark, I switched the car's ventilation mode to 'fresh' to allow fresh air to come in. Despite my efforts, the burning smell got stronger and stronger.

And that was when I noticed a steady stream of smoke emitting from Mr X's sling pouch.

"Gahhh! The smoke is from here!" I informed my company. Then next moment we were all in panic to douse the smoking sling pouch. Turns out that the smoke is being emitted from a packet of ignited tissue paper caused by a broken part of Mr X's cigarette falling into his sling pouch. The fire was fortunately manageable and no one was hurt in the accident. Everyone went home in one piece.
