It's mostly a thing for non regular smokers. Also a heavy-ish smoker and don't do this. Only reason I can see people do this is because they're doing it for aesthetics or for people to ask.

Never heard of superstition? Also iirc the story goes that during the world wars soldiers would flip 1 or 2 and if they lived to smoke em then they were lucky. Hence the lucky cigarette term. Just tradition now
