I have seen smokers who have quit smoking for months make tiny amounts of smoke come out of their mouths by taking a breath, compressing their lungs really hard then letting it out softly. Is this really smoke? If it is then I am in trouble because I don-t smoke but I work around alot of smokers. I tried it one day and sure enough a little smoke came out of my lungs and I could taste stale smoke in my mouth.ya this is true, don-t listen to the first answerer. I have done it and many people I know do it. Im think everyone who is around smoke could do it too, so i dont think it matters how long yu have quit for.My grandson does it and has never smoked I asked him what it was he says it like when its cold outside and you breath out. He pushes hard and holds it in his mouth and lets out a puff of what appears to be smoke but it is not actually smoke.It is actually true, my husband used to smoke and a few weeks after he quit he could still bring up smoke from his lungs if he tried.What were YOU smoking when you -saw- this phenomenon? No, babe: it does not happen. Quit making s h i t up!It-s called water vapor.

In winter, particularly, the air in your lungs is moist and warm (very humid) and the air outside is cold. Your exhales therefore contain more moisture than is -allowed- under the laws of physics for the outdoor air temperature, so as your warm (98 degrees) exhale mixes into frigid air, it becomes visible as a small cloud. It looks like smoke, but it-s not.

-Compressing- and -releasing softly- just makes the cloud vapor effect stronger.
