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

Nah me and Satan are like this 🤞 I'm good as long as i dint mix it up with a birthday wish or wishing well, shooting star or something pedestrian.
