Smoking with Awareness

Smoking is used to illustrate 'de-automatization.' It does not encourage anyone to begin smoking; it asks an existing mechanical habit to be slowed down and seen clearly.

Practice style

1. If you already smoke, slow every movement: taking out the cigarette, lighting it, inhaling, and exhaling.
2. Feel the smell, movement, and desire without condemnation or hurry.
3. The point is to see how the habit happens automatically; this is not a suggestion to start smoking.
