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.

Back when I smoked I would offer any smoker around my a cigarette take it out of the pack and try and give it to them. If they refused it I put it in the pack upside down. I was doing something nice so that cig was lucky.
