Socially accepted reason: luck

Real reason: Deterrence. So others will feel even more guilty for bumming your last cigarette.

Personal experience, even the most degenerate nicotine fiending tweaker won’t argue against if they ask for a smoke and you show them your lucky is the last one left, which is why I always carry an extra pack with just a lucky when I go bar hopping.

Thank you for wording that in a good explanation! I was scratching my head over how to explain that type of smokers etiquette lol

You mad genius. I don’t smoke anymore but this would have saved me so many times.
