How to smoke properly

With rising cigarette prices and smoking bans in public places, every cigarette matters. Make sure you know how to properly enjoy cigarette smoking. Cigarette smoking can have very serious consequences for your health, including cancer. But if you have weighed all the risks and decided to smoke a cigarette, you need to know all the right nuances of smoking. With the right brand, location and technique, you can get the most out of your cigarettes.

Select a cigarette

1. Choose your favorite brand of cigarettes.Often a novice smoker chooses light or super light cigarettes.This is recommended as the nicotine content is usually very low in these cigarettes. Once you realize that you really need to smoke cigarettes, try to enjoy smoking. The only way to find out which brand you like best is to try variety. Experiment with this.

   The taste is somewhat subjective. That's why you may have to try and try before you find a brand of cigarette that you really like.

2. Consider menthol cigarettes.If you find that regular cigarettes have a pungent taste, consider switching to menthol cigarettes. Menthol cigarettes contain a tobacco-free additive that produces a mint flavor when inhaled. Most major brands of cigarettes contain a variety of menthol.
   • If you don't like mint-flavored foods and drinks, you probably won't like menthol cigarettes. They have a very strong mint taste.
   • If you've smoked cigarettes regularly in the past, you may not like menthol cigarettes. Many people who have acquired a taste for natural cigarettes do not like mints.
3. Smoke with cloves.Clove is a common spice used in cooking and baking. Cloves can be flavored with tobacco to create a fragrant cigarette.
   • If you don't like the taste of menthol and regular cigarettes, cloves can be a good intermediate option. The added flavor can make them rougher than a regular cigarette. However, the taste is much softer than menthol.
   
   • Cloves can be very strong, so be careful when smoking. As they can make you look frivolous, do not smoke cloves while driving.
4. Try scented cigarettes. If you are looking for a special taste, there is a wide variety of flavored cigarettes on the market. Cigarettes come in many flavors such as cherry, chocolate, orange, mango and so on. The taste is quite obvious. The taste of cigarettes is similar to the taste of the label. Flavored cigarettes can be a good option if you don't like regular cigarettes, but you also don't like cloves and menthol.

Light a cigarette

1. Stick a pack of cigarettes.Most cigarette brands benefit from good packaging. Insert the box of cigarettes, which thickens the tobacco in the cigarette, which causes the cigarettes to burn more slowly and increases the taste of the tobacco. Before opening the plastic wrap around your box, flatten the cigarette box and lower the box with the filter side down to your palm and shake the cigarettes for 10-20 seconds.
   • Turn the closed package upside down so that the opening through which you need to remove the cigarettes is facing down.
   • Place your free palm.
   • Hit the box of cigarettes three times in the palm of your hand.
   • Unfold the bundle 180 degrees (still upside down).
   • Repeat the punch to make sure the cigarettes close evenly at both ends of the box.
2. You know when you should NOT shake. Some cigarettes are already full of tobacco.
3. Use a good lighter.The first cigarettes not only differ from the higher quality lighter, but you will also learn to love and appreciate your lighter if it is of higher quality.
4. Light a cigarette.Bring the end of the cigarette filter to your lips. Light your lighter and bring the flame just below the end of the cigarette. Pull deeply two or three times while the flame still touches the end of the cigarette to ignite properly. Do this until the entire end of the cigarette is turned on and off. You can turn the cigarette when you light it if it does not burn evenly.

Smoking a cigarette

1. Cigarette smoke.When you smoke, make sure you're not in a hurry, that you won't be disturbed, and that you're either alone or with people you like. This will allow you to enjoy your smoking time much more, especially if you have smoking friends.
2. Exhale a cigarette. Bringing the cigarette to her lips, she should not miss her teeth. Bring the lit cigarette to your lips, then carefully inhale the smoke, continuing to inhale it evenly into your lungs, hold the smoke there for a second, then inhale normally through your mouth, inhaling air into your lungs. It also helps reduce oral cancer. For the initial stage, shallow breaths should be taken, as deep breathing can cause coughing.
   • When inhaling, do not hold smoke in your mouth and exhale quickly.
   • Some recommend lightly moistening your lips with your tongue before bringing the cigarette to your mouth to prevent the cigarette from sticking to your lips.
3. Exhale the smoke.After inhaling, leave smoke briefly in the lungs, then exhale. Inhale as usual for the volume of the lungs, wait a while, then exhale. To check that you are smoking properly and that the smoke is entering your lungs, exhale through your nose. Inhale and if the smoke does not come out of your nose, it stays in your mouth.
4. Turn off properly.When you're done, don't let the fire touch the filter. The fumes from the filter are horrible to smell and taste.The cigarette should be in the ashtray when it almost reaches the filter. Don't forget to shake off your cigarette. Shake the cigarette in the ashtray if there is ash. There is no exact length at which to shake a cigarette in an ashtray, so watch out for the cigarette.
   • Tap the cigarette lightly with your index finger to shake off the ash from the end, do this over the ashtray.
   • Do not wash the ashes on the floor, you may accidentally burn your clothes or leave permanent stains on your clothes.
5. Extinguish the cigarette.After smoking a cigarette, put it out in the ashtray. When you go outside after smoking, put out a good cigarette and throw it in the trash. A fire can easily start with an unextinguished and incorrectly thrown cigarette. There are several ways to put out cigarettes:
   • You can put out a cigarette by pressing it against a flat surface until it stops burning.
   • You can tap your cigarette in the ashtray several times until it goes out.
   • You can also drop the butt on the ground and put out the flames with your trunk. Remember that this will leave a black mark on the pavement. Take the butts of the cigarettes and throw them in the trash.
   • If you don't have an ashtray and don't want to leave large marks on the asphalt by extinguishing it with your trunk, then you can turn on the light. That is, you have to click on the cigarette so that its burning part falls off. Extinguishing light that has fallen will leave less space. Don't forget to throw your face in the trash.

Smoking etiquette

1. Hold your cigarette properly.Hold the cigarette between the index finger and middle finger somewhere on the filter. How exactly to hold it depends on what is convenient for you.Be careful with the lit end of the cigarette when holding it. You may accidentally burn someone.
2. Do not gesture with your cigarette.If you need to point something during a call, use your other hand. The hand holding the cigarette should be relatively still, except when you bring the cigarette to your lips.
3. Ask before lighting a cigarette when visiting. If you're visiting or in the car, don't light a cigarette without asking. If someone does not want you to smoke in their home, be respectful.
4. Control yourself.Do not throw cigarettes in the trash without extinguishing them completely, as this may cause a fire. Do not throw cigarettes on the ground in vain. No waste. The cigarette must be extinguished in an ashtray or on a hard surface and then discarded. Tips:
• Never smoke too many cigarettes at once, as this can cause nausea and sore throat.
