Flicking ashes?

Question

how do you flich ashes off a cigerrette correctly?

Answer 1

Whenever ashes collect at the lighted tip of your cigarette, you should casually remove it from your lips. Then, taking good care not to spill any ash on either your clothes (or your neighbours !), or the table/floor, you should neatly tip the ash into the nearest ash-tray (or trash can) by gently tapping upon the cigarette, with just one finger.

...This will present you, as one with a very sophisticated and neat attitude !

Answer 2

is there a proper way?

Answer 3

place the cig at the filter between your index and middle finger and gently thump the top of the filter, or hold the cig by the filter end between your index finger and thumb and gently thump either your middle or ring finger against the cig.
