How to smoke properly

With rising cigarette prices and a ban on smoking in public places, every cigarette is important. Be sure to 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 also need to know all the correct 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 because the nicotine content in these cigarettes is usually very low. 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 different ones. Experiment with this.

   The taste is a bit subjective. So you may have to try trial and error before you find a brand of cigarette that you really like.

2. Consider menthol cigarettes.If regular cigarettes seem to have a pungent taste, consider switching to menthol cigarettes. Menthol cigarettes contain a non-tobacco additive that gives the taste of mint when inhaled. Most major brands of cigarettes contain the menthol variety.
   • 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 regular cigarettes in the past, you may not like menthol cigarettes. Many people who have acquired a taste for natural cigarettes do not like mints very much.
3. Smoke with cloves.Clove is a common spice used in cooking and baking. Clove can be flavored with tobacco to create an aromatic cigarette.
   • If you don’t like the taste of menthol and regular cigarettes, cloves can be a good medium option. The added flavor can make them sharper than a regular cigarette. However, the taste is much milder than menthol.
   
   • Cloves can be very strong, so be careful when smoking. Since they may look frivolous, do not smoke cloves while driving.
4. Try flavored cigarettes. If you are looking for a special taste, there is a wide range of flavored cigarettes on the market. Cigarettes come in different flavors like cherry, chocolate, orange, mango and so on. The taste is pretty obvious. The taste of cigarettes is similar to the taste on 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. Knock on a box of cigarettes.Most brands of cigarettes benefit from good packaging. Tap a pack of cigarettes, which will cause the tobacco in the cigarette to thicken, leading to a slower burning of the cigarettes and an increase in the taste of the tobacco. Before opening the plastic wrap around the box, align the cigarette box and lower it with the filter facing your palm and shake the cigarettes for 10-20 seconds.
   • Turn the closed box upside down so that the opening through which the cigarettes are to be removed is facing downwards.
   • Put your free palm.
   • Hit the cigarette box three times hard in the palm of your hand.
   • Extend the beam 180 degrees (still upside down).
   • Repeat the charge to ensure that the cigarettes close evenly at both ends of the box.
2. Know when NOT to shake. Some cigarettes are already filled with tobacco.
3. Use a good lighter.Not only do the first cigarettes differ from better quality lighters, you will learn to love and appreciate your lighter if it is of better quality.
4. Light a cigarette.Bring the end of the cigarette to the lip filter. Light a lighter and bring the flame just below the end of the cigarette. Pull deeply two or three times while the flame is still touching 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, be sure that you are not in a hurry, that you will not be disturbed and that you are alone or with people you like. This will allow you to enjoy your smoking time much more, especially if you have smoking friends.
2. Inhale a cigarette. Bringing a cigarette to her lips, she should not miss her teeth. Bring a lighted cigarette to your lips, then gently inhale the smoke, continuing to inhale it evenly into your lungs, hold the smoke there for a second, and then inhale normally through your mouth drawing air into your lungs. It also helps reduce mouth cancer. In the initial phase, you should take shallow puffs, because deep breathing can cause coughing.
   • When inhaling, do not hold the smoke in your mouth and exhale quickly.
   • Some recommend that you moisten your lips a little with your tongue before bringing the cigarette closer to your mouth to prevent the cigarette from sticking to your lips.
3. Blow out the smoke.After inhaling, leave the smoke briefly in the lungs, then exhale. Inhale as usual for lung volume, wait a while, then exhale. To check that you are smoking properly and that 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. Shut down properly.When you're done, don't let the fire touch the filter. The vapors from the filter have a terrible smell and taste.The cigarette should be in the ashtray whenever it almost reaches the filter. Don’t forget to shake off the cigarette. Shake the cigarette in the ashtray if there is ash. There is no exact length to shake the cigarette in the ashtray, so watch out for the cigarette.
   • Tap your cigarette lightly with your index finger to shake off the ash from the end, do it over the ashtray.
   • Do not brush the ashes on the floor, you may accidentally burn your clothes or leave permanent stains on your clothes.
5. Put out your cigarette.When you smoke a cigarette, put it out in the ashtray. Going 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 butt. There are several ways to put out a cigarette:
   • You can put out a cigarette by pressing it on a flat surface until it stops burning.
   • You can slam a cigarette on the ashtray several times until it goes out.
   • You can also throw a cigarette butt on the ground and put out the flame with your boot. Don't forget that this will leave a black mark on the sidewalk. Pick up a cigarette butt and throw it 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 a boot, then you can drop the light. That is, you need to click on the cigarette so that its burning part falls off. Turning off the dim light will leave less space. Don't forget to throw the cigarette butt in the trash.
