This is called "light painting" and you will find many examples of it on the web. You need a long exposure and a source of light (a light stick, a flashlight, a cigarette even). You put your camera on a tripod, release the shutter, and then start moving your light source to "paint" whatever it is you want to get. You can release a flash in the meanwhile to get a still of yourself doing the actual painting.

    \$\begingroup\$ Cameras record light; cigarettes emit light. How is there room for doubt? \$\endgroup\$
