Twist, turn as they might, avoiding the smoke was impossible. Pungent and sweet it blossomed up through their nostrils directly into their brains. For a moment they felt nothing; then as one man they lay back, succumbing to the irresistible power of the drug. The first sensation was double, triple vitality, a thousandfold perceptiveness that saw, heard, felt, smelt with minuscule and catholic exactness.

Meanwhile we still face the deflection dilemma. If we develop and deploy the technology, it may do us in. If we don't, some asteroid or comet may do us in. The resolution of the dilemma hinges, I think, on the fact that the likely timescales of the two dangers are very different--short for the former, longer for the latter.
