How to Make It Look Like You're Smoking

If you don't smoke, the occasions on which you'd like to look like you're smoking are likely to be few and far between. And wisely so. Smokers are increasingly becoming the pariahs of Western society. But, if you're an actor who needs to smoke on stage for a role, or you want to dress up as a smoking character for Halloween, there are a number of ways you can mimic the act of smoking without actually inhaling any of the toxins in tobacco smoke.

  Take another puff on the cigarette, and hold the smoke in your mouth for a second before blowing it out without inhaling. Try to appear as relaxed as possible, as though smoking comes as second nature to you.
