A question that has multiple meanings, depending on the situation in which it is used. It can be used on people who have never heard it to get a strange reaction. Some possible synonyms would be:
1. How do you smoke so much in one day?
2. How come you're so cool when you smoke?
3. How do you manage to be high on drugs like that?
