The trick of removing smoke from the nose when enjoying a cigar is called "retrohaling". By doing this, the taste of the cigar can be enjoyed perfectly. You can also try blowing smoke out of your nose when you inhale a cigarette, vape, or hookah. To begin with, inhale a cigar and then press your tongue against the roof of your mouth to allow the smoke to blow toward your nose. Once you've mastered the basic technique, you can try the "Dragon's Breath" trick. Remember, blowing smoke from your nose can irritate your throat and cause other health problems. Therefore, consider the risks before trying this trick.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Blowing Smoke from Nose
Step 1. Buy a cigar or light cigarette if you are a beginner
When expelled from the nose, the smoke can be irritating. Cigars or light cigarettes have a mild taste, but the smoke is not too harsh on the throat and nose. Cigars or strong cigarettes will produce quite thick and harsh smoke so they are not a good choice for beginners.
Strong cigars are generally quite dense and have a slightly spicy taste
Step 2. Light the cigar and then suck it
Burn the tip of the cigar to light it and then suck several times until it is completely lit. After that, suck the cigar until the smoke fills your mouth.
If using an e-cigarette, press the button and then suck it out
Step 3. Pinch your lips together so the smoke doesn't come out of your mouth
Suck the cigar and then close your lips. It's okay if the smoke comes out a little when you cover your mouth.
When doing this, the cigar's mild taste will also be quite pronounced on the tongue
Step 4. Stick your tongue to the roof of your mouth to let the smoke blow upwards
Once your mouth is tightly closed, move your tongue behind your upper incisors, then back it down so that it touches the center of the back of your mouth.
Because the mouth is tightly closed, smoke will not be able to come out of the mouth. Therefore, the only place the smoke can escape is from the nose
Step 5. Blow air through your nose to blow out the smoke
The air pressure from your lungs will push the air out through your nose. You can blow your nose slowly or quickly to let the smoke out sooner or later. It may be a little tricky, but if you keep practicing, this trick will become easy to do.
For example, imagine that you are diving. While holding your breath, blow air from your nose to create air bubbles in the water. Instead of air bubbles, you'll be blowing smoke out of your nose
Method 2 of 2: Trying the “Dragon's Breath” Trick
Step 1. Inhale as much vape or e-cigarette smoke as possible
Place a vape or e-cigarette on your lips, take a deep breath for a few seconds, then close your mouth tightly. Hold the smoke in your mouth for 2-5 seconds.
This trick is usually done using an e-cigarette or vape. However, this trick can damage the lungs and throat over time
Step 2. Squeeze the center of the lips to let the smoke out from the edges
When doing the dragon breath trick, smoke will come out of the mouth and nose at the same time. To get the smoke out of your mouth, close the center of your lips so that air can still escape from one side of your mouth.
- If it is difficult to close the center of the lips, try placing your tongue in the middle of the lower incisors.
- You can also do this while smiling widely to allow air to escape from your mouth.
Step 3. Exhale the smoke from the nose
To blow smoke out of your nose, simply push air through your nose instead of your mouth. Do this like a deep breath but reversed. Push the air hard enough to allow the smoke to escape through the nasal passages easily.
You can also move your tongue to the roof of your mouth to help drain the smoke. However, this may be quite complicated if you are a beginner
Step 4. Exhale the smoke from the mouth and nose at the same time
“Dragon's Breath” is performed in 2 stages: exhaling smoke from the nose and exhaling smoke from the side of the mouth. When the smoke is in the mouth, close the center of the lips, hold the smoke in the mouth for 1 second, then exhale the smoke from the mouth and nose quickly.
- When this is done, the smoke from the nose will blow downwards, while the smoke from the mouth will blow upwards.
- Imagine that you are a dragon blowing smoke. By doing so, this trick will feel easier.
- Don't be discouraged if your first try doesn't work!
Tips
- Do it in front of a mirror so you can see if the technique used is correct or not.
- Make sure the cigar or cigarette is completely lit and emits smoke when inhaled. If it doesn't light up properly, you'll have a hard time sucking the cigar or cigarette.
Warning
- Breathing smoke from your nose can irritate your throat, nose, mouth, and chest.
- Remember, smoking is very risky for your health.
