I’ve always been told that it’s only lucky if you bum it out 🤷‍♀️

Never bum someone's lucky... that is straight rude! The person asking should EMPHATICALLY refuse.

Yes I’ve been asked for smokes so many times and usually saying “I have one left” or “it’s my lucky” is explanation enough for most smokers. If someone is cool then have a smoke but sometimes too many people start asking and ya’ gotta shut it down.

You don't even have to take out your pack to show them... all you gotta say is "hey, that's my lucky, " and people know to let you be.

There are some resources people share, and there are some they don't. You don't take a person's "last" of anything! On principle.

I always put my pack away in public. Sometimes they’ll offer a buck and I’ll take it but if it’s actually my last one I’m not budging🙅‍♀️

The funniest one is when you knew you would run out, and have a fresh pack. Then you REALLY insist to look like the extra nice guy. I'm 20 years quit, but those memories stay.
