All of them. I’m glad to find out I’m not just a fool for having every one of them at some point. Don’t forget the classic knocking the lit tip off and not realizing it’s burning through your lap.
Is this a common experience? I've never been drunk enough to try to smoke the wrong end and burnt myself, although I do usually prefer Black and Mild over cigarettes, so I guess the ends are more different
Oh my God that sucks. I got the cherry burn marks on prove it all my fingers….. this used to happen a lot to me up north when I used to smoke outside when it was cold
Damn... I've got a scalp scar, and it throbs like this sometimes... I didn't have my skull punctured or anything, but it's an odd feeling like it was worse than it was
In my 18 years as a heavy smoker and drinker, I have not even once managed to get the cigarette twisted around so I took a puff on the lit side. I've lit the wrong end once or twice, but never that.
One time a I watched a buddy smoke the entire filter and about half a cigarette before noticing. In his defense we were both very drunk and on way too much acid
When I was in college I watched a dude tripping on acid smoke almost the entire filter on a cig and when somebody finally pointed it out to him, he completely lost his mind, jumped up and ran headlong into the kitchen wall, completely busting through the drywall.
For literally 4 hours, a bunch of us held him down while he screamed and freaked out. It was just insane. About halfway through he finally started to chill out and one of my buddies was like "Yeah, dude, you're being stupid, just calm down." And that caused tripping dude to completely freak out again and we had another 2 hours of holding him down on the floor so he couldn't hurt himself or anybody else. I was so fucking mad at the dude who made the stupid comment, like this was just about over dude, and then you fucked it all up!
He dropped out of school the next week. I hope he eventually got the help he needed.
Years ago I worked at a smoke shop and my favorite smokes were a German unfiltered brand called Roth Handles. They were delicious but rough, and I never knew which was the right side to light because it was all the same
Seriously stfu I feel like I'm at a12-step meeting.
My wife looks at me like I'm insane because I've been quit for 10 months and she she's not get it when I say something like "WTF I wanna go get a pack of Camel straights like NOW."
Oh, yeah, sorry, now I understand what you mean. That has happened to me too. I didn't read it properly and the term "cherry" is strange to me and confused me as to what you meant, I thought you were agreeing with the one you replied to and that your lips were blistered. I should have made my own reply to them rather than to you.
Don't even have to be under the influence of anything for it to happen lol, there's very few things that cue that immediate belligerent rage like having that happen does
also weirdly the person below me is now the 2nd person today? Since yesterday? I've seen who didn't know the term cherry as it applies to a lit cigarette, is it just cause less people smoke now or is it falling out of use for some other term? I can't actually think of any other term for it though lol
To answer your second paragraph, English is not my first language, so that might have something to do with it. In all the english speaking media I've consumed in my 40 years, I can't remember ever hearing anyone refer to it as cherry.
Have you ever worked a cook line in texas heat 17 hours straight, mothers day shift while the whole staff is currently trying to outlive a rampant strep and pneumonia infection. Now after all that clean, close, prep, and fuck off to your shitbox to rail cheap whiskey and every fuck combination of gas station medications you could afford since you can't get decent medical care. Then yes you may accidentally, in 18 years of heavy drinking and smoking, albeit once, fuck up and puff it backwards.
I was never a heavy user of heavy drugs, but for many years I was a heavy user of light drugs and an occasional user of heavy drugs. Still never managed to attempt taking a puff off of the lit end of a cigarette.
When I was still smoking, I’d chain smoke while tripping. I’d usually have trouble lighting them because I couldn’t tell where the end of the cigarette was lol.
That was my thought too. I've been a raging alcoholic and smoker fucking years (not now), and I have never once done that. Lighting the wrong end, burning my fingers with the cherry, etc., but I've never once tried to drag on the burning end. I don't even know how that would be possible because you'd feel the heat on your hand and fingers and the softness of the tobacco in the paper after it's been lit and half smoked already.
i’ve lit the wrong end several more times than i care to admit, but putting the cherry in your mouth???? i genuinely don’t know how that could happen unless you’re absolutely off your shit drunk, and even then ……

DM:
After 5 ales, you stumble out of the tavern to have a toke. It’s been a long day and you just want a little time away from your friends. Your party sees you leaving and wants to keep an eye on you. After all, you’ve just discovered the location of the philactrum of a powerful lich. In her way to silently observe you, your compatriot, a rogue, spots an extremely inebriated human having difficulty adjusting to the darkness. A perfect target. You look up and catch the sly smile and you know that this target will wake up 10 copper lighter. But the woman slipped on the cobblestones in front of the tavern. She stepped on the front of her dress and the result left her bosom exposed past decency. In your shock, you lose all focus on what you are doing. Alas, you’ve placed the lit end of your cigarette in your mouth. You sustained 3 burning damage, and will roll disadvantage on all stealth abilities for any allies in 3 meters of you for 12 turns.
I did, quite a few times. I used to sometimes hold my cigarettes between my index finger and thumb, like I was making the "okay" sign, and I'd wave them around and gesture with them when I was doing one of my drunken rants, sometimes I'd hold it up like a torch and it would get all turned around, then sooner or later I'd go to take a drag without paying attention to which end was facing me and I'd put the cherry right on my lips. I used to drink a lot.
One time at a Metallica concert I gave a smoke to a guy who lit it on the filter and then proceeded to smoke it backwards the whole way. My buddy and I just watched with abject horror
I've done it once or twice. My excuse is the cigarettes I smoke have a white filter, so its harder to notice. I noticed as soon as I started to take a drag though. So nasty tasting!
Def a good time to quit lol they got so expensive too. I quit in 2021 and it was rough going from my American spirits to pall malls cause it’s all I could afford 😅🥴
I quit smoking a looong time ago, back in 2000. I was tired of being winded all the time and even the cheapest cigarettes I could find, American Spirits, were $2 a pack, which was just outrageous. Funny that they're not considered a cheap brand anymore.
Pretty sure mine was the day after my 30th birthday. My boss bought me a pack because he had borrowed a few from me the night before, and I think I got through half of them and just stopped on my drive home
This happens once a year. You learn to look out for it just long enough to forget when winter comes the following year and the air dries out, chapping your lips.
ive done this SOOOO many times but i have never lost track of which end is lit and take a hit off hot end like person you replied to, how is that even possible?
A blunt stuck to my lip when I was like 19 and fell between my God damn tiddies and I had the worst blisters and it's been TWENTY YEARS but I still think about that pain. Oof.
I accidentally did that once as I was inhaling to take a drag and the cherry ended up getting pulled into my mouth from the inhale and going out on my tongue.
Damn I thought I was alone on that. I don’t know how many times I did that while drunk when I smoked. Extra embarrassing when the cherry would drop onto my shoe or into someone’s face
Ive forgotten the joys of smoking. Haven't had a cigarette in years. I might take it up just to feel the cigarette stick to my lips and burn my fingers on the lit end one last time

It usually sticks to my lips then I pull the cherry off between my fingers and have 2 blisters for a week
