Discussion #1 - Your pack
Everybody has a way of opening a pack of cigarette. Every clever smoker knows why they are doing it.
As for example, here in Canada we have two types of pack: those which contains 25 cigarettes in 2 sections (left and right for purposes, 13 to the left and 12 to the right), and those who are larger (3 rows of 8,9,8 cigarettes or 7,6,7 if there is only 20 cigarettes in pack), which does not have any separation, and are a more international pack I think.
Now for the firsts, there are many ways to open them: left, smoke 13, right; right, smoke 12, left; both way, smoke from left to right; both way, smoke from right to left. Even with each ways there are different things we can do...
Now we all have our little manias...
Gabrielle, improvisation teammate, turn a butts upside-down, and smoke it last (I did the mistake to take it by mistake... it wasn't in my mouth that she was screaming around... or am I exagerating things?).
As for I, when I use the larger pack, I usually remove the top plastic, not the bottom part, just enough to open the pack and take a cigarette. If it is a 2-sections-pack, I open the left side, then smoke it all, then open the right part. Simple and efficient, in the reading sense.
My biggest mania comes when offering a clop to someone. I open the pack, pull a cigarette half out, and offer it to the one asking. Just enough to tell them "I offer you THIS cigarette, but you are the one who takes it and I don't take any responsibilities as for your health"... :)
What are your manias, smokers? And what are the reasons?

I used to do that one-reverse-thing like gaby... we dont have those weird packs tho, i only get the 20s 6-7-6 version. I think I go completely random on it. mostly somewhere front-middle that i start tho. maybe more to the left. i like left.
when someone asks for a smoke, i throw the whole pack or take a random one out and throw that. i have a throwing-issue maybe.
But you're so right. Everyone does it differently. The little paper ? it mustn't be torn. I always pull it out so it doesn't tear up. I also keep the bottomplastic on. when someone toys with it or takes it off, i take back my pack AND the plastic and put it back on (although thats damn hard).
Good noticing.
