Impress your audience by following this guide on blowing smoke rings and mastering this unique technique.

Even at the cost of looking cool, winning accolades, and trying to impress an audience, smoking is not recommended under any circumstances. The harmful side effects of smoking are something we are all well aware of.

Steps Involved

Before you read these instructions, and decide to directly perform this feat in front of a large audience, it is wiser to begin by practicing alone. You don't want to end up making a fool of yourself by producing just another regular cloud of smoke. Also, this process should be effortless. If the effort in blowing a smoke ring shows, it takes away all the glory from the display!

Step 1: Choose the right cigarette. Doing so is the first step in being able to blow proper, thick, full smoke rings. Choose a full flavored cigarette.

Step 2: Pack in the tobacco. Tap your cigarette or cigar upside down on a flat surface, for the tobacco to collect closely within.

Step 3: Light up but don't be in a rush. Once you light up your cigarette or cigar, don't be in a rush to begin blowing smoke rings. Instead take a few drags, and then proceed to blow them. In any case, you are not going to be able to perform your feat with the initial drags as the smoke is lighter in the beginning.

Step 4: Start by taking in larger drags. To be able to blow a nice and full smoke ring, it is better to take a large drag. However, ensure that you don't inhale too much and set off a long bout of coughing. Also, avoid burning your throat or tongue by inhaling too much smoke. To avoid coughing you may have to inhale some of the smoke.

Step 5: Keep your mouth shut. While your mouth is closed, roll your tongue in backwards, towards your throat. Keep it that way to allow it from coming in the way and disrupting the smoke rings.

Step 6: Transform the shape of your mouth into an 'O', but exhale in the manner you would say 'oo'. Don't struggle too much while making the circle, and don't look too intense. It should appear natural.

Step 7: Start exhaling the smoke in small amounts. Don't make any noises while exhaling. Neither should you apply too much pressure while exhaling as this will disrupt the smoke ring.

Step 8: As the smoke leaves your lips, while keeping it pointing downward, push your tongue up, along with the lower jaw. This will produce a smoke ring that will stay in place.

Ready to impress the crowd? If you want to leave it at just impressing and not disgusting the crowd, please do not blow the smoke into anyone's face. Also, to prevent your grand performance from fizzling out, don't perform this smoking trick outdoors, due to the breeze factor. You are now ready to show off your new and unique skill!
