> [@hogarth](#): > > The version of the anti-smoke incantation I learned was “I hate white rabbits” (also alluded to in the wiki article). Me too, and you were supposed to say if fast: ihatewhiterabbits ihatewhiterabbits. I learned it on canoe trips in Canada, but most likely from Americans. It never did stop the damn smoke from blowing in your face, though. ---

It’s definately a thing for me; I’m a New Englander. I probably forget more months than I remember, but my wife and I remind each other on the last of the month. I also say “I hate white rabbits” around the campfire, but it generally devolves into “Fucking scummy white rabbits” after a bit.
