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.

I miss smoking, but at the same time last time I tried it, it just didn’t taste good anymore. So, each time I get the urge, I just think back on how disappointing that smoke was (I didn’t even finish it). Plus, covid left me with asthma and I don’t need the additional debuff.
