Smoke that didn’t cause headaches?
Actually dropping in an uncoated aspirin in a PW engine gave smoke indistinguishable from Lionel smoke pellets, and a bottle of aspirin was cheaper than a bottle of smoke pellets. Since aspirins were ingested, I can’t imagine vaporized acetylsalicylic acid would be in any way toxic.
