Proper way to smoke a cigarette?

If you don't inhale, you will only get a small fraction of the effects of the nicotine and eugenol in the clove.

Yyou are not supposed to inhale are when smoking cigars and pipe tobacco. Unless you are hardcore desensitized to the smoke, it is far too thick and unfiltered to tolerate inhaling. It does give a monster buzz, though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As for the effect on the lungs, the whole 'fiberglass' myth comes from the tendency of heavy clove smokers to get 'vamp lung' (bleeding lung). This is attributable to the high activation energy required for the natural oils in cloves versus domestic tobacco. Cloves burn hotter and are harder to keep lit. You may have noticed, and has been the case with myself, that a clove will go out if you don't take drags fast enough--kind of like a cigar.

The hotter gases have a searing effect on the lungs. This is what can cause 'vamp lung', not fiberglass.

For the record, the way I smoke is a hybrid 'french inhale'. I suck the smoke into my mouth, and then inhale part of it out of my mouth up through my nostrils with the rest being mixed with air and inhaled through my mouth. I don't inhale directly through the clove.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
