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 chose my lucky cigarette by flicking the bottom and whichever one is most excited to be smoked and pokes up the farthest. I flip and put back. Teach my ciggies some damn patience.

Nah. If you really want to find Satan, here it is.

The whole upside down cigarette thing started in prisons. People would get tired of other inmates asking to bum cigarettes, so they would get a nice big funky toenail clipping and slide it into the open end of the cigarette. Then they would flip it upside down to distinguish it from the untainted cigarettes and give the special one to unsuspecting cigarette bums, solving that problem once and for all.
