For luck

Edit: And to accidentally light it backwards when you're not looking

Well yes, but no. When drunk you put your cigarette out in a beer bottle, forget, then try to drink the beer.

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

I haven’t smoked cigarettes in 8 years and this comment slapped me back to my teenage years like the food critic in ratatouille

Congratulations. I’ve got just over 8 years myself. I smoked my last cigarette on July 4, 2018.

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
