I remember the first time I watched someone on oxygen smoking a cigarette. It was about 30 years ago in a hospital section (back when even the patients could still smoke in hospitals) for the terminal cancer patients and I thought it was the craziest thing at the time. The guy would take a puff on his cigarette, wheeze a little, then take a whiff or two of oxygen, wheeze some more, then take another puff on his cigarette. I mentioned it to a couple of the nurses since I thought it had to be pretty dangerous; they just shrugged their shoulders like it wasn't a big deal, said it happens all the time.

Smoking doesn't cause oxygen fires, it's some jerk that got oil somewhere in the oxygen system, that's an instant fire!
