Cortina de humo

"Cortina de humo" es una doble metáfora.  "Cortina" indica que se está ocultando algo.  El "humo" significa que ese ocultamiento es sutil y que apenas nos damos cuenta de la ocultación.

Hoy día la expresión se podría aplicar a muchas situaciones de la vida, sobre todo de la política y los altos negocios.

Pero lo que me propongo ahora no es deconstruir la metáfora, sino darle vida en un cincuenta por ciento.  Ayer me disponía a salir de una cafetería y cuando iba a mirar hacia fuera apenas veía la calle.  Una cortina de humo me lo impedía.  Bueno, no era una cortina, pero sí era de humo, de ahí lo del cincuenta por ciento.

La expulsión de los fumadores de los locales hosteleros y similares ha provocado este nuevo fenómeno que habrá que analizar detenidamente.  Si hubiera espacios convenientemente equipados en los locales, quizá los no fumadores no tendrían que descorrer la cortina de humo para entrar y salir de los mismos.

    Right now it sounds like Wordpress is the best blogging platform available right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?

    A motivating discussion is worth comment. I think that you ought to publish more on this subject, it may not be a taboo matter but typically people don't talk about these subjects. To the next! Kind regards!!
