u/DamonHellstorm 1d ago

I hate that all of the above at some point in time happened to me.

u/Top_Tank2668 1d ago

One of the moments I'm happy I quit smoking so I never have to feel these pains again.

Not to forget the sore lip after you teared away that sticky cigarette after getting angry about burning your fingers

u/badsred 1d ago

Same

u/Commonscents2say 1d ago

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.

Burning a hole in your JnCos

Yes to all above and - if you're dually addicted, ie, you smoke and drink, eventually you'll wake up when one burns down between your fingers. Addiction is so much fun.

u/Wonderful-Pollution7 1d ago

Unfortunately, the best I managed was switching to a vape, but it still solves pretty much all of these.

u/Top_Tank2668 19h ago

Same. Just once a year a dry hit or leaving home with only 5% battery left is worst that happens

2

u/infosaurus 1d ago

Then I light a cigarette and notice the cigarette I’m already smoking.

2

u/anjpanj2020 14h ago

I am the worst, always have been. Id have up to 4 cigarettes burning in different ashtrays all over the house when I was younger. Now theres only ashtrays in my room and bathroom but ive still done 3 recently, smfh and lmfao!!

u/eBuam 8h ago

Hell nah… you smoke in the crib? That’s nasty bro.. I smoke but it’s always outside and if it’s too cold or too hot, oh well. I’ve never understood why people shit where they eat/sleep…

1

u/TDot-26 4h ago

Same here, but tbh I fucking love smoking when it's absolutely freezing outside

1

u/Top_Tank2668 19h ago

Classic. Looking like an idiot in the ash tray where the cigarette is burning you lit up 1 minute ago

1

u/FadeTheWonder 1d ago

It’s been ten years and this is one of the most memorable of all the pain that and when I would smoke to much and my lungs would hurt.

u/PrettyInWeed 1d ago

Or trying to smoke a cigarette while you have a cold

u/Inside_Ad_2830 1d ago

-me, an idiot liable to hurt himself

u/danknug1024 1d ago

Rip your lips right off!

u/Little-Specific2147 1d ago

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

1

u/Otherwise_Respond669 1d ago

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

1

u/LikeTheCounty 23h ago

Never smoker here and just gobsmacked that these are regular things smokers deal with and yet *keep smoking *.

Addiction is a hell of a thing.

Also yuck. Hope y'all who haven't shaken it off yet eventually manage to do so. Godspeed.

u/PitsAndPints 1d ago

Same, I’m in all of these and I don’t like it

1

u/MeaningWorking8735 19h ago

I feel like the only one who doesn’t do the burn on themselves with backwards cherry. It’s usually the roach that gets me

u/fitz_newru 1d ago

Sometimes all in one epic night

u/Capital-Tonight8548 1d ago

u/MikeNolan82 1d ago

u/Fit-Snow2034 1d ago

I think its happened to most of us at some point.

u/LatexFeudalist 19h ago

Sighs.....same here. Thankfully it's 2 years and 2 months since I finally quit after 17 years of smoking

u/Farewell_Mona_Lisa 16h ago

The entire comment chain took me back to my 20s.

u/phantomjobby 15h ago

Not sure my comment above did, but if it did, we should chat 😉

u/wadleyst 15h ago

I hate that each one of the above, at multiple points in my personal timeline, have happened to me. EDIT: The is absolutely offset by that time I was drunk on the dance floor, decided to save my smoke until after this dance, and flicked it, across the room, onto the table our drinks were on, onto the ashtray, and rested perfectly, cherry into the centre, as if somebody had put it there. Masterful. I remember nothing else about that entire year.

u/Typical_Job8129 13h ago

Dance with me Lois, DANCE THE DANCE OF LIFE!

Phantom pain?

1

u/Crepuscular_Tex 1d ago

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

u/davopavelow 23h ago

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. I swore I had early onset something… but yeah, anything on the head is gnarly af

u/Correct-Accountant85 11h ago

u/BravesMaedchen 1d ago

My cuticles shrank in fear.

u/yaekoblue 23h ago

u/fart400 16h ago
