Imagine:during a dinner party, you look up and notice a ring of smoke rising from the crowd and traveling through the air to the ceiling.Nice right?It's a great way to attract attention, even in a room full of smokers.Learning to blow thick smoke rings floating in the air isn't as difficult as it seems.Here's how to master this skill coveted by all smokers.
-
Partially inhale the smoke. Keep the smoke in your throat, not just your mouth.It may take some getting used to.You may cough.
-
Move your tongue towards your throat. With your mouth closed, pull your tongue back, keeping it pointed downward, so the smoke moves away from your lips.
-
Make an "O" shape with your mouth. At the same time, purse your lips as if pronouncing a "u."Try to create as large a circle as possible without feeling discomfort.Don't push yourself too hard - try to leave some room for movement.You will look ridiculous until people see the result you are about to achieve.
-
Push out a small amount of smoke. The best way to describe how to do this is by the sound you make when you choke lightly, contracting your glottis and pushing air through your lips.You will feel pressure and see a rapid release of smoke, but you should not use your vocal cords.The exhalation should be only a guttural whisper.
- Try to push a small amount of air out of the lower part of your throat without breathing or moving your jaw.Once you have mastered this technique, it will be easy to create the rings.
- Keep your lips still as you blow out the smoke.
- It is the most complex part of the technique.Make sure your tongue is far back in your mouth, that you've held enough smoke to create a ring, and that you have enough breath to push the smoke out.
-
Once you've mastered the basic technique, try blowing rings with a backward rotation. When you feel the smoke leave your lips, push your tongue forward, always keeping it pointed downward.Don't bring the tip of your tongue over your teeth, or it will interfere with the smoke ring.Think of your tongue like a ribbon carrier.
- At the same time, slightly but quickly bring the lower jaw upwards.Bring your lips inward slightly and quickly.
- This will give a backward rotation to the smoke, helping the ring to stay compact.This way you will create a very nice and thick ring.
-
To make your rings travel faster and farther, try adding a quick thrust with your tongue in addition to a quick jaw movement. These two movements should be the final movements of the technique, that is, they should be the movements that will push the rings away from the lips.The difference between this technique and the rotation technique is that in this case you are pushing your jaw forward.
- Try to keep the tip of your tongue behind your bottom teeth, at gum level, at all times, and try to push only with the middle part of your tongue.
- The most difficult part of this technique to master is the jaw movement.You will have to learn how to do this yourself.
- This technique is the one that requires the most practice, but once you are able to perform it, you will be able to blow rings that can travel for a long time.
-
Use your lips to influence how far the smoke rings can reach. If you quickly purse your lips after closing and opening the glottis, the ring will travel faster.
- The more you curl your lips in, the faster and further the ring will reach.
- Don't perform this movement too early though.Timing is everything.If you tighten the opening too soon, you will blow rings that are too small.
- The more you curl your lips in, the faster and further the ring will reach.
-
Blows smoke rings with a light tap on the cheek. It's considered "cheating" by some, but it's an easy and effective way to blow smoke rings without having to master the technique that requires using your throat.
- Collect the smoke in your mouth, without inhaling.
- Place your lips as if you were pronouncing a "u."
- Using your tongue and mouth to blow out smoke slowly and continuously, tap your cheek repeatedly.For each swipe on the cheek, you will get a small ring!
- You can use repeated or periodic strokes to create the rings at different times.
-
Use the tongue thrust method. You will have to use your tongue to push the smoke out of your mouth, without blowing.
- Curl your tongue back and let the tip rest at the bottom of your mouth, so that your tongue forms an upside-down "U."
- Use the flat surface of your tongue to quickly push the smoke out of your mouth.You can do this by dragging the tip of your tongue forward while maintaining the inverted "U" position.
- The rings produced this way are small and don't last long, but they are very easy to create.
-
Use cellophane to make smoke rings. An alternative (cheating) method is to punch a hole in the cellophane lining of your cigarette pack.After inhaling the smoke, blow it into the hole.Gently tap the cellophane on the side without the hole.A smoke ring will appear.
Advice
- If there are air movements, it will be difficult to keep the rings under control.If the movements are caused by the movements of the people next to you, try to move to a quieter spot.Try to blow the rings in a direction where no currents come from.
- Try practicing in front of a mirror.You will be able to observe the formation of the smoke, its flow and the influence of the movements and shape of your mouth.
- You will have to be patient when you practice.You probably won't get it right on the first try, and it will take several to get perfect circles.
- It is possible to blow smoke rings outdoors, but weather conditions will affect the result.
- To blow a smaller ring through a larger one, take into account the direction and speed of the first ring.Then try blowing a smaller, faster one in the same direction.
- If you are using cigarettes, be sure to tap the pack so that the tobacco is concentrated near the filter.
- Choose cigarettes with thick smoke - 100s, menthol cigarettes, traditional cigarettes, etc.Note:the lighter the cigarette, the thinner the smoke will be, and the less visible the rings.
- You can use small cigars to get a thicker smoke.
- When blowing a smoke ring, try to stand near a window or light source that illuminates the area you are blowing your rings towards.This way it will be much easier for everyone to see them.
Warnings
- Do not blow a smoke ring in a person's face unless specifically asked to do so.He's very rude.
- Don't throw cigarette butts on the ground.Remember to throw cigarettes in an ashtray or other appropriate container.
- Remember that smoking is seriously harmful to health.Practice producing smoke rings in moderation.
