It is frequenty reported that someone dies of smoke inhalation. That's
certainly something to care about.
Looking up what "smoke inhalation" means, I find it's a catch-all
phrase, sort of like "germ" or "headache" or "homicide" or "drugs".
In and of itself, it tells us little of the actual cause of death,
according to information in this Firefighter document all about SMOKE:
http://www.pbfeducation.org/files/TH...Supplement.pdf
"Typically, when someone dies in a fire, its attributed to
the nebulous cause of €śsmoke inhalation.€ť In truth, its more
complicated than that."
"[the] potential cause of death in smoke inhalation victims -
[is] cyanide poisoning."
