Smoking dragon

I've been reading this children's literature guide. It says that it's not in fashion to write stories with actual "moral lessons" anymore (that is obvious). Anyway, I remembered that I read this funny (or now: weird) book called "Where does all that smoke come from?" (in Finnish, naturally) from 70's. It's about two children who live in a city full of smoke. They want to know "where does all that smoke come from" and find a dragon smokin about million cigarettes (not pot, what it would be if the books was re-written now) at the same time.

I don't have a picture of that dragon (but I'm going to borrow the book and scan the image, I have to! ) but I found a picture of the cover from the net (above).

The dragon was really sick and unwell. I must've been frightened pretty badly 'cause I have never smoked. Haha. It would be nice to read some researches about how books affect kids' lifes in a long period. If there are any researches made about that.
