How to let the rings out of the smoke?

This material is in no way a propaganda for smoking. The description of how to start rings from the smoke is given only for cognitive purposes. Indeed, for sure, many of us have watched how some smokers effectively produce smoky rings, and how they do it, for some and Remains a mystery. In fact, there is nothing complicated. In order to master this technique, you need a little patience and training.

To better visualize the whole process, look deep into the story and get acquainted with the one who first thought up how to let the rings out of the smoke. The name of this man is Robert Wood, the great American experimental physicist. About a hundred years ago, in his lectures, he often demonstrated to students the installation, with which it was possible to fire air rings. It was a large wooden box, one side of which was covered with a rubber membrane. On the opposite side a round hole was made. At the bottom of the box was a smoldering piece of cotton wool. When a finger was snapped across the membrane, smoke rings burst out of the hole, and they had a sufficiently large force, as they reached the opposite edge of the audience and could easily knock down the cardboard box that stood there.

This, only on a smaller scale, can be done with your own mouth. There are several ways to get rings out of smoke. Let us dwell on the simplest.

First, practice: the lips need to be shaped like a circle, the tongue must be placed in such a way that it is exactly in the center of this hole. Now we try to make the following movements: the tongue moves back and forth with a small amplitude, it should like to push out the smoke, at the same time the lower jaw performs cut-off movements up and down. Lips should be fixed. Now you need to dial into the lungs of smoke and repeat the above. Do not be discouraged if it does not work out the first time, at least you will understand how this should all happen.

Now let's talk about how to let the rings out of the smoke without the tongue. It's a bit heavier, in this case Wood's method is already directly used. Smoke should not be typed into the lungs, but into the mouth. Lips need to strain and form a small circle. Now try to represent the sound "Oy", only in a whisper and briefly. If you do it right, it will sound like crackling or coughing. Lips and tongue should be immovable, only the vocal cords and cheeks that need to help release air work. Smoke, coming out in small portions, will form very beautiful picturesque rings. This method is also called "W vice versa", because when exhaling a sound is pronounced, very similar to an inverted "double-y".

The majority of beginners "ring-makers" take more than one attempt to learn this difficult art. Master it slowly, without fanatical zeal. Rings made of smoke are, of course, unusual and effective, but always remember your health. Smoking several cigarettes in a row can lead to a general deterioration of well-being.
