Rock collector Luo Yuanshui claims the 2.2kg rock he found in the mountains of south-east China can inhale a cigarette in around five minutes.

After finding the seemingly inanimate object Mr Luo’s first thought was to stick a cigarette in what passes for a ‘mouth’ and see if it would smoke it.

To his amazement he reckons it did and with its haggard appearance it certainly looks like a hardened smoker.

Cigarettes will burn down on their own thanks to chemicals added to the tobacco but Mr Luo insists his nicotine-loving rock puffs them even faster.

Mr Luo, from Fujian province, has had a host of visitors to marvel at the smoking rock including a couple who appeared transfixed by the geological marvel.

The unidentified red rock sits atop a plinth bearing a plaque in Chinese.

Its loving owner has even thoughtfully provided an ashtray so it can harmlessly indulge its vice.
