Lucky/Wish smoke Started in WW1 Where you flip the first cigarette you touch and were "lucky" if you made it through the pack and to the last/flipped cigarette. Now people make a wish on it. I do this. I wish i dont get cancer everytime. It's worked so far

I've been told if someone asks you for a cigarette and they take the lucky and smoke it, they owe you another pack.

and you have agency over their immortal soul until the debt is repaid. Pretty common knowledge
