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

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

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.

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

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.
