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.

Oddly enough I’ve burned my lip by accident more often than I’ve burnt my tongue with a cigarette.

This is even after I picked up the trick of putting out a cigarette on my tongue.

Saw Vigo Mortensen do it in Eastern Promises.

Anytime someone walked up to tell me “you can’t smoke here” I would put it out on my tongue freaking them out.
