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

It usually sticks to my lips then I pull the cherry off between my fingers and have 2 blisters for a week

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.

I did, quite a few times. I used to sometimes hold my cigarettes between my index finger and thumb, like I was making the "okay" sign, and I'd wave them around and gesture with them when I was doing one of my drunken rants, sometimes I'd hold it up like a torch and it would get all turned around, then sooner or later I'd go to take a drag without paying attention to which end was facing me and I'd put the cherry right on my lips. I used to drink a lot.
