How to properly smoke and hold a cigarette: a label for smokers

Even the ubiquitous promotion of health today cannot reduce the number of people who smoke. But most of them are completely unaware that they do not smoke exactly according to the rules, thus harming themselves. Improper smoking is more harmful to the body.

Looks like what difficulties can occur while smoking?

Just take a cigarette, light it, hold it in your lips and then inhale. In reality, however, everything is a little more complicated, in the process of smoking there are some rules and characteristics that must be taken into account. If you follow them, you can slightly reduce the damage to your body. In this article you will learn how to properly hold and smoke a cigarette.

1. What should I do first?

   There is a simple movement that occurs in people who smoke for a long time. Before lighting a cigarette, they either hit the box in the palm of their hand or lightly tap it on the table to shake the contents. They make the same movement with the cigarette when they take it out of the box. From the outside, it may seem like an obligatory ritual or a nervous habit. But if you ask a smoker why he does it, you will find that in this way he weakens the tobacco, loosening it. The result of this manipulation is the fact that the cigarette is easier to smoke, takes more time and will not be as strong.

   The next step is to find out how to hold a cigarette properly. To do this, you need to squeeze it at the base with two fingers. It is best to fix between the index and the middle. Then lower the cigarette.

   It is known that most male smokers prefer to squeeze their cigarettes with their index and thumbs, thus hiding the smoking bull from others.

   To hide your bad habit, you should hold the cigarette in the same way, but at the same time bend your fingers towards the palm. Thanks to this you can make the cigarette less visible in your hand.

   Now let's light a cigarette. This can be done with a match or lighter. The cigarette should be squeezed between the lips and the fire should be brought to the opposite side. At this point, you need to start drawing air through it. Just like drinking liquid through a straw - these actions are somewhat similar. The moment you light a fire, wait until the cigarette starts to burn on its own. Without waiting for this, it will simply go out, which is why it should be allowed to ignite. The smoldering process of a cigarette must be the same.

2. Common ways to smoke

   How to smoke and hold a cigarette properly? There are many different ways. We will share with you those that are used more often than others.

   
   1. You have to start with this: hold a cigarette between your lips. Hold it with your fingers, light it and inhale the smoke. You should not do this too harshly, otherwise you will get a strong cough.
   2. To feel the taste of tobacco, you need to hold the smoke in your mouth for a few seconds to cool it.
   3. Then the smoke should be exhaled from the mouth. This should be done with slightly pressed lips, as in a kiss.
   4. The whole smoking process should continue until the distance from the filter to the smoldering tobacco is half a centimeter.
   5. Don't forget to shake off the ashes. This should be done after every second or third breath. The ash should be shaken off by holding the cigarette with your thumb and middle finger, tapping closer to the smoldering edge with your index finger.

   The French way of smoking is also common among smokers. It consists in the fact that after inhalation the smoke is exhaled through the mouth, after which it must be inhaled again through the nose.

   There is also a known method, which differs in that the smoke is exhaled through the nose. For example, it happens that a person does not smoke and literally immediately exhales smoke without inhaling it into the lungs or holding it in the mouth. So, it barely reaches the lungs.

   If you fall into the trap of bad habits, especially smoking, you need to learn not only the rules of the process itself, but also the rules of conduct when you want to smoke.
