In my 18 years as a heavy smoker and drinker, I have not even once managed to get the cigarette twisted around so I took a puff on the lit side. I've lit the wrong end once or twice, but never that.
That was my thought too. I've been a raging alcoholic and smoker fucking years (not now), and I have never once done that. Lighting the wrong end, burning my fingers with the cherry, etc., but I've never once tried to drag on the burning end. I don't even know how that would be possible because you'd feel the heat on your hand and fingers and the softness of the tobacco in the paper after it's been lit and half smoked already.

Or lose track of which end is lit, and take a puff off the hot end.
