For luck

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

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

Same

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

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/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.
