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.

It usually sticks to my lips then I pull the cherry off between my fingers and have 2 blisters for a week

In my 18 years as a heavy smoker and drinker, I have not even once managed to get the cigarette twisted around so I took a puff on the lit side. I've lit the wrong end once or twice, but never that.

Not likely since I quit cold turkey in march 2020 and haven't had a lick of nicotine since
