Smoking a stranger's cigarette is like indirectly kissing them. I think most of us have kissed someone before and lived to tell the tale.

People can roll their own cigarettes with anything in them or lace them in anything - not really something I'm willing to risk, each to their own.

But when it's a stranger, the odds of getting herpes/aids/bubonic plague increase by about 1000, according to studies.

But I thought fluid transfer activities with strangers was a national pastime? Who knew it could be dangerous.

You don't have a rolled cigarette for someone to light off, it doesn't work unless they know how, in which case it was probably a straight of some known brand, not much risk there for it being laced... But keep that paranoia rolling ;)

I can admit, not so much paranoia as ignorance - I know pretty much nothing about cigarettes, I just know I wouldn't share one with a stranger off the street. If you want to, be my guest (:

Does this mean i kissed my brother in law?

I was waiting outside of a store in Manhattan and saw someone walk up and pick up a half-used cigarette and put it in his mouth. It was on the ground, and stepped on by many people. He didn't even care. The things some people do for an addiction... Another time, I saw a guy in a suit pick one up by the sewer in the street, light it and put it in his mouth. They don't seem to care about getting sick.

If OP or the guy who stole the cigarette knew how to smoke, there isn't and shouldn't be any fluids involved. The cigarette should never go any further in than the outside of the lips. It should never get wet. Therefore, who cares about sharing a cigarette if no fluids are shared.

Go home, djalal, you're drunk.

Lol , sorry but I don't drink Alcohol , thanks to care about that ahaha . No it's real , I read the quote a few hours ago on VDM. And , yeah , somewhere American are funny , they drink a lot and insult smokers lol . (Sorry if I simplify , English's not my mother language )

Any more* my apologies. I shall correct myself before a gn does.

What nobody ever tells you is that those minutes you add go on the end of your life. The crapping your pants, can't remember your name fml grandparent years.

No, my three minutes were getting blown by a bikini supermodel while eating lobster off her twin sister's *******! All while watching a rerun of "Seinfeld" (The Opposite episode.)

In the three minutes stolen from me I was given 1 billion dollars to be in a 5 way with 4 clones of Kate Upton... Damn that cigarette:)

What you fail to realize is that when someone hands another person a lit cig, it's used for them to light their own, and then to hand it back to the owner. Any smoker would know this.

95 - I think you misunderstood their comment. But at any rate, clearly not "any" smoker would know this as the guy in the FML was a smoker and did not. Also, you usually light it FOR them with yours, not hand them yours so they can do it.

@ 98, I am assuming 29 meant would the OP want it back if the guy had smoked from it. The fact the guy told it, smoke it, and walked off makes him an asshat.

I understand that when someone hands you a lit cigarette you're supposed to use it to light your own, not smoke from it. I'm just saying that since he already took a drag from it, giving it back wouldn't make it better.
