Eight specified instances have been prescribed for habitual smoking, because during these periods, the rise of ''vata'' and ''kapha'' is noticed. The self controlled man should resort to smoking after taking bath, after scraping the tongue, after sneezing, after brushing the teeth, after ''nasya'', after the use of eye-salve/collyrium and at the end of sleep. Thereby, ''vata'' and ''kapha'' borne diseases affecting the body parts above the clavicle do not afflict him. In these conditions, smoking should be done thrice, in three puffs each time. A wise man should practice habitual smoking twice a day only, the unctuous smoking once a day and the purgative smoking thrice or four times a day. [33-36]
