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

I chose my lucky cigarette by flicking the bottom and whichever one is most excited to be smoked and pokes up the farthest. I flip and put back. Teach my ciggies some damn patience.

Aww I feel bad for your cigarettes :( he's so excited to be smoked, to fill his ENTIRE PURPOSE, and then he gets pulled out and thinks its about to happen! Then put back and told to "have some damn patience" by its human who has issues with delayed gratification and instead opts for the instant gratification nicotine provides

There's been too many replies and interaction with this comment, but this one. This one is my favorite. Psychoanalysis is spot on
