Swallowing/Regurgitating Cigarettes - Is This Possible?

[tr0nic]

Thank you so much for making this the first Metal Gear related thread on the forum.

It had to be done. Start it off with a bang.

Not that I can imagine him really smoking them but maybe for Shadow Moses he was smoking SuperSlim Vogues? A pack of them is actually quite believably ingested-especially wrapped in a condom. Does he have any Madonna on his iPod in 4? Would lend credence to this theory.

Next time Konami inevitably remakes MGS, I hope there's a new ten minute cutscene of Snake meeting Meryl in the bathroom and having to pass several condoms full of ultra thin cigarettes, scratchy voice babbling about nanomachines and digestive juices.

I've eaten lit cigarettes before. This provides no real insight as to whether what Snake did is possible but I can confirm that I don't recommend anyone does that.

I just know there's a killer story in there.

Even if he isn't producing gastrointestinal juices, there must still be moisture in his stomach - after all, he can get a cold, so we know that at the very least, his throat and respiratory tract is lined with healthy mucus to start with. So how does he still manage to light these soggy cigarettes? Everytime he regurgitated one, does he pat it down, fan it out, draw out the moisture (somehow?) and then light them?

Yeah like there's no way the inside of his stomach is just dry that would be deranged. He's just standing there in the laser hallway blowing on them for like half an hour.

Unless...He was sparing Naomi the gory details. He didn't swallow them at all. He went straight to delivering in rear. Now, he's wearing a full one piece stealth suit so who knows, but either way one of those helipad guards got a weird surprise when they walked past the elevator.
