Not long after I started smoking with my mother, she gave me a bunch of tips. Chief among them was to smoke in a way that retained smoke in my body. This meant no forceful cones from the lips unless you wanted to assault somebody.
After the inhale, it was suggested that I breathe normally and only allow the smoke to escape through my nose. If done right, it will take a minimum of three breaths to clear my lungs. In actually, when done in the right light, it is more like seven breaths before no visible smoke is trailing out of my nostrils. I smoke unfiltereds.
My mother loved to smoke and do it in a way that drew attention to her style. Nearly every slow-draw inhale was super deep and held for several seconds. The light-ups and final tokes were usually fully inhaled double pumps. She savored the last draws and nearly always got a good dose of the tip smoke from the one inch unfiltered butt into her nostrils.
And she did all the glam stuff without even thinking or knowing that it happened. That would include french inhales, smoke balls, and open mouth inhales. She was just a Goddess for those who could appreciate a heavy smoking woman. I do alot of that stuff to this day but I really concentrate on smoke absorption and maximum nic hit. Oh yeah, I also lick my lips when crushing out the butt in order to taste the condensed tar. So far I have lived 22 years longer that she did. I smoke a little less.
