not true. If you "pack" a cigarette, there will be about an eighth of an inch of empty space at the end.

WTH kind of cigarettes are y'all smoking. My sheets are packed in as tight as they're gonna get.

If you don't tap them, then what happens? How did I smoke 25 years worth of cigs without EVER tapping? How did I pull that off

I buy them by the carton. Conducted my own experiment. Identify the tapped one. #IgotTimeToday

I quit smoking back in 2004 or 2005. We called it "packing" the cigarettes and we didn't tap them. Before removing the plastic, would smack the top side of the pack pretty hard against the palm of the other hand 10-20 times and there was a fairly sizeable difference between packed and unpacked cigarettes. When packed, there was a gap between the end of the paper and where the tobacco started

The reason for it was that the smoldering tip (the cherry) of the cigarette had a greater chance of falling off the cigarette completely when tapping the ashes off if the cigarette was unpacked. Didn't have that issue with well packed cigs

I find it amusingly ironic that we have a smoker's discussion in the Darwin Award thread.

I see. A residual ritual from back in the day

The fact that you lack a skill doesn't mean it's not a thing.

I know it's a thing. An unnecessary one. People believe in and do all kinds of unnecessary things

This seems Darwinish...

State’s public health efforts hobbled by low vaccination rates and crowded housing following last year’s hurricane season

Like smoking?

Absolutely. I consider it a necessity for me these days (long story), but it's not a general requirement like farting or something.

25 years. Still waiting. How long is it supposed to take?

I like farting. It just makes life a little more interesting when seeing my family's reactions to particularly loud and smelly farts.

If a deaf guy facts does it still make a sound? Yes, yes it does.

Maybe not hear it, but absolutely can feel it. Particularly when sitting on the floor.
