smoke ring
Exhaled floating circle
A smoke ring is a circular puff of smoke exhaled or emitted in a way that maintains its toroidal shape as it drifts through the air.
Producing smoke rings is a minor skill that cigarette and cigar smokers sometimes cultivate for amusement.
The same phenomenon occurs on a larger scale when volcanoes or industrial smokestacks emit circular vortices of vapor.
