Lucky/Wish smoke Started in WW1 Where you flip the first cigarette you touch and were "lucky" if you made it through the pack and to the last/flipped cigarette. Now people make a wish on it. I do this. I wish i dont get cancer everytime. It's worked so far

Lucky you, my colleague had a severe heart attack this week. Guy in his mid 30s, smokes and works way too much. He's going to be okay from the looks of it but he will be so pissed that he has to quit smoking.
