Random question for smokers

[The Floridian Coast]

Have you ever smoked a cigarette and tried to keep the ash together as it burned? Like getting all the way down to the filter without flicking away ash, just to see if you can hold it one piece?

I got about 3/5 of the way on a 100. I really thought I was going to make it.

[Delator]

I've done it...the trick is to lie down on your back and keep the cigarette vertical.

The bad news is that, if you fail, it ends up all over your face. That's what SHE said. ^_^

[Ryadn]

No. Flicking the ash away is, like, 50% of the fun of smoking.

[Tagmatium]

Nope, but I've managed to knock off the hot, glowy bit by attempting to flick off the ash on multiple occasions.

Oh, now that's just annoying

[Lexembourg]

No.

I did light one in the middle once, just to see what would happen. Then I realised that it was a dreadful waste of a cigarette. But since I only ever smoke when I'm drunk, it seemed like a fantastic experiment at the time.

Plenty of times I've flicked the ash away and broken the filter off, then had to smoke it roach. Ew.

[Cannot think of a name]

I do it with cigars every once in a while. But mostly I kind of like flicking the ash off.

The furthest I have ever managed to do that with, was like 1/3 of it then I flicked it all over my buddy who said "smoking is bad for you."

How long have you ever gotten your cherry? (the ember) Ive seen mine at like... 3/4 of an inch, and how the heck does it get that large anyways?

Ah, that's a better thing to call it than the "hot, glowy bit".

It tends to remain quite short on my cigarettes, as I smoke roll-ups.

Brava!

Stick a pin down the middle of the cigarette, then you can smoke it all the way down without any of the ash falling off...

I never smoked a cigarette but theoretically I feel that it would be impossible because the ash is very brittle (I know this because I tinkered with the fireplace a lot).

[Desperate Measures]

It's been forever since I tried that. I must have been a kid the last time. But now, I roll my own. No way that I can keep the ash on those things for very long.

Matches are much better for making the cigarette explode in your face

Yes. It's quite easy.

And my philosophy teacher - notorious for drinking a bottle of grappa a week - used to smoke a cigarette in just TWO puffs, without any ash falling down. Steadiest hand in the Frontier.

But matches will burn and add to the nastiness in your lungs. Use a steel needle (not aluminium-coated) and you don't increase the health risk...

If you knew it was wrong, why did you do it?
