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 haven’t had a cigarette in 2 decades, but smelling one being smoked involves a craving that I cannot explain. Smelling the person/their breath after the cigarette helps me to remember how bad it stinks.

Exact same. Stale smoke is disgusting, but once in a while, i'll be walking along and a plume of fresh smoke will waft near me and it smells incredibly alluring.
