How To Smoke Properly

Have you always thought that smoking is just sucking smoke? You are wrong. If you are a smoker here are tips on how to properly smoke a cigarette:

Hold the cigarette properly

While the way you hold the cigarette depends on your preference, there are a number of common ways of holding a cigarette that you need to be aware of. Some of the ways in which you can hold the cigarette include:

Classic: you should hold the cigarette between the index and middle finger, between the first and second knuckle. As rule of thumb you should ensure that your palm faces downward.

Sophisticated: it's similar to classic, but now you hold the cigarette with your palm facing you and your fingers pointing upwards.

Euro I: you should hold the cigarette between your thumb and forefinger with your palm facing out and your cigarette pointing outward.

Euro II: you should hold the cigarette between the thumb and forefinger with your palm facing in and slightly up. You should ensure that the filter end points directly at you.

Palmed: here you should pinch the cigarette between the thumb and forefinger with your palm facing in. Your cigarette should be secreted in your hand pointing towards your inner wrist. This method of holding the cigarette is great when you don't want to make obvious that you are smoking.

Smoking

Once you have lit your cigarette you should now start smoking. If you have just started smoking you should avoid taking in a lot of smoke to avoid turning green and coughing.

Once you have taken some smoke you should hold it in your mouth for a moment and then let it cool down. The benefit of letting the smoke to cool is to protect your throat from being irritated.

After holding the smoke for some time you should then blow it out. You can blow the smoke through your mouth or nose. Since there is no right way of doing it, you should experiment and settle on the one that works perfectly with you.

Conclusion

This is the proper way of smoking a cigarette. To avoid dropping the ash on the floor you should have an ashtray. After you have completed smoking you shouldn't dispose the filter anyhow. The best way is grinding it on a non-flammable surface until it gets out.
