I'm being paid a grand to be cast in a student film for one of my friends. I play a character who smokes a lot. Can I look like I'm smoking by not inhaling and still maintain the illusion of smoking?

no you cant, instead of inhaling you can blow at the cigarete, then inhale deeply and blow nada out.

I started smoking because of a role in a film I got twenty years ago. It led to a long-term addiction that I was never able to quit. I have multiple smoking-related diseases and I have just a few more weeks to live. Sad

lol

I really don't think that would help him look like a real smoker for a role in a film. That is like what a kid does the first time he tries a cig followed by coughing.

Depends on your character. Fake the inhaling and see what the director has to say. In some films they are not suppost to harm or hurt animals and they make it look true so I am sure you can fake smoking with a tiny bit of help. They want the movie to look good too. Sometimes they will only show shots of you taking a drag but can flip that and not show you inhaling.

If you want to be an actor you gotta learn how to fake it.

If you are a someone trying to break into acting you do a lot of stupid things. It may not be right but still a lot will give it a try and playing a character who smokes, and not being too hard can make or break you. Just don't pickup the smoking habit imo.
