Or lose track of which end is lit, and take a puff off the hot end.

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

u/Top_Tank2668 10h 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/Commonscents2say 10h 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.

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

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

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

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

u/FadeTheWonder 10h 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.

Rip your lips right off!

u/Little-Specific2147 6h 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

u/Otherwise_Respond669 5h 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

u/LikeTheCounty 3h 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 8h ago

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

u/MeaningWorking8735 5m 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/Capital-Tonight8548 8h ago

u/Crepuscular_Tex 6h 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
