How about?
It's late. You in the middle of nowhere. Nothing is open and your lighter runs out...
I've spent massive amounts of time trying to find old books of matches under the seats in the car. I've even tried lighting a cig using the spark from the flint of the Bic. Yep, turned that little wheel until my thumb was grey with flint dust.

Pffffffft. Wave of the future? More like a good way to waive your future. Also, fire is SOOOOO Middle Paleolithic. :D Sounds like someone got hosed at the mall.

Seriously though, it was a pretty weak troll attempt, especially his rebuttal. Didn't he say something like "Keep on poisoning your body. I'll be over here enjoying my cigarettes."? Really, now? :glare:

Yeah, it was a pretty sad troll attempt. Not the first, but certainly the weakest. :)


Anyway, back on topic. What I almost found more annoying than the stick-to-the-lips finger burn was when my filters spontaneously conjured up enough moisture from thin air so that the end was almost dripping. :p

Mmm. Juiced butts.

I also recall when using those cheap-... res smokes, pulling one out of the pack, taking a lighter to it and have half the entire cig go up in a two-foot flame an inch from my nose. Yup. Half the tobacco dumped out in the pack.

Or how 'bout this: Out and about, last smoke in the pack. Take it out. It's broken at the ..... Cursing, you tear it off, squeeze the tobacco out of the .... end, roll the broken end of the shaft so it tapers, then shove it in the now-empty well in the .... and be very careful smoking it.

How about someone bumping into your cigarette end, then wearing the glowing ambers, as panic sets in to brush it off their clothes and hope there aren't any holes. Or how about doing this to yourself.

Flicking a cig .... out the window while driving and it blows back in the car.

Being in nature and having to empty the tobacco out and keeping the stinking filter ends in your pocket until a garbage is located.

The common way to solve this problem in the country was to hammer down the gas pedal and flog the engine for a bit then jump out and light the cigarette off the super heated exhaust manifold.

Or how about the lighter just runs out and you don't have a spare? I have memories of my mom using the stove element to light up a cigarette (and her holding her hair back with neck outstretched).

I've done that but can't anymore. Darn glass top stoves! Well, I guess it doesn't matter now.

Been there, done that. But I hated getting my face near the element or getting tobacco stuck to it, so I used to light a toothpick on the element and then light the smoke with that.

Oh, I hated that. You risk life and parts of your face getting that sicker lit. You get that sicker going, pull away, the coal on the tip pulls out leaving you a shortened unlit cig.
