Actually.. if you want to get "high" off a cigarette.. there's a very easy way to do it.
Put your hands together like you are clapping, but cup them airtight, leaving space between your hands like a box. Insert the cig between your figers on one of your hands. Inhale where your two thumbs meet.
I hear that people in the middle east normally smoke cigs this way.. but that's just what I hear.
