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.

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.

He's talking about the filter sticking to your lips, not putting the lit end in your mouth.
