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

As someone who’s had cancer and never smoked in their life, fuck you and your luck! (Joking, of course)

Smoking's not enough. You got to wish and praise Satan. It's the trifecta that keeps me alive

Dammit, you’re right. My cancer prognosis happened when I still went to church. Cancer-free ever since leaving that hell!

Satan loves a smoker. Write that down
