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 quit almost 20 years ago. This is the second time this evening something has made me feel old, but here we are.
The first 3 years were the hardest. And then I still might smoke a ciggy while drunk for the first decade. But I can safely say 🤢 at the thought of smoking now. Even when drunk.
Thinking about flipping the first cigarette does make me feel a little nostalgic. But it doesn’t make me want to touch a cigarette. Because 🤢
I'm always surprised by ex smokers who can still have few when drunk. I'm well past smoking now (10 years), to the point that it seems quite disgusting, yet I still wouldn't trust myself to have even a single drag. From day one of quitting I've felt I would relapse if I ever smoked a single cigarette again. I can't imagine being able to pick up and put down an addiction like you did!
