One night in college- I worked late into the night on blowing smoke rings till I started turning green.

Seems to help if you breath like your trying to say the letter "a "real short- other than that I don't know how to explain it.

Jeff has a decent description, form your mouth in an 'O'...then try and push the smoke out with your tongue......


let the wise cracks commence

The ring is formed by your partially extended tongue which is not touching any portion of the inside of your mouth. Your cheeks need to be "chimp" shaped and the smoke is forced out by gently snapping your jaw up ever so little. That's the best I can offer. Child's play really.
Next lesson: the French inhale.

the tounge has nothing to do with it
just make an O with your mouth, and exhale a little then stop abruptly
the smoke will roll back over your lips, but keep traveling out away from your face
it takes practice
works best with those alternative smoking blends CA is so famous for

This is an entertainment I never expected to have. Thank you.

(the joy of blowing smoke rings is forever denied me, being an avid non smoker....)

I agree with Theo. Very entertaining. I'm a non-smoker also.
I remember back in high school, when me and my gals pals had a sleep over, we tried this. Four out of five of us got it.
Really funny hearing the techinicalities on doing this.

the tongue has everything to do with it...just open your mouth...pull your tongue back but leave the tip centered...exhale little puffs...
