In this fast moving world, bad habits also travel as faster as possible. And in this case, smoking is one the habit which travels faster than ever! It is so easy to transfer this habit from one person to another. Just speaking and sharing a puff with one another will also share the habit. But have you ever realized and noted how much you are ruining your life and people who are around you most of the time? And you are killing each and every minute of your life which is more precious when it comes to smoking. Smoking is a session where you get addicted to the stick which is lit and burns all the tobacco which is rolled within the thin paper. But as the tobacco is burned, they produce toxins and other harmful chemicals which are too much for your lungs to take. And this leaves a big hole in your life.

OpenSimulator is an open source multi-platform, multi-user 3D application server. It can be used to create a virtual environment (or world) which can be accessed through a variety of clients, on multiple protocols. OpenSimulator allows virtual world developers to customize their worlds using the technologies they feel work best - we've designed the framework to be easily extensible. OpenSimulator is written in [http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-334.htm C#], running both on Windows over the [http://www.microsoft.com/net/ .NET Framework] and on Unix-like machines over the [http://www.mono-project.com/ Mono] framework. The source code is released under a [[BSD License]], a commercially friendly license to embed OpenSimulator in products. If you want to know about our development history, see [[History]].

Out of the box, OpenSimulator can be used to simulate virtual environments similar to [http://www.secondlifegrid.net Second Life™], given that it supports the core of [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Protocol SL's messaging protocol]. As such, these virtual worlds can be accessed with the regular [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Alternate_viewers SL viewers]. However, OpenSimulator is neither a clone of Second Life's server nor does it aim at becoming such a clone. On the contrary, OpenSimulator lacks support for many of the game-specific features of Second Life (on purpose), while pursuing innovative directions towards becoming the bare bones, but extensible, server of the 3D Web.

Every minute you smoke is kills you from inside and you get affected by some real big incurable disease like lungs cancer or mouth cancer. But you can always turn your way and bring some changes in your lifestyle. You can try a hand with vaporizers. This device is one of the most important when it settles in a smoker’s hand. If you are trying hard to get rid of smoking, you can take the help of [http://www.vapir.com/ vaporizer]. With this device, the herb which you smoke can be heated and you can inhale the vapours which would give you immense pleasure. They are not heated or burnt by any chance. Just make sure you maintain a regular temperature which would provide you with sufficient amount of vapours and you will forget your olden days when you use to smoke and feel high with vaporizers.
