You can fix a cigarette that broke in half. I know at least three ways. Now why isn't big tech pouring the millions my way? Curious.

Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

More profitable to sell new cigarette than let people fix broken one they already have.
If you have rolling papers you can use those to patch the snap.
At that point, you might as well roll a J while you've got 'em out, eh?
A real addict will be able to fix it
Glue strip from a single skin. Sorted.
Or stick them together with chewing gum. One vice helps fix another.
To be fair, there is a way to fix a broken cigarette, and the Rev. Horton Heat showed me at a divey show back when:
- Pinch the unfiltered half/portion at the break and separate it from the other portion.
- With the thumb and forefinger of your other hand, gently roll/squeeze out any tobacco remaining inside the paper from the filter toward the broken edge.
- Turn the first half/portion (unfiltered) around and insert it cut-end first into the collar of remaining paper you've just cleared of tobacco in front of the filter.
- Light the renewed cigarette and roll those twitchy cancer dice, you numbnuts. It's a disgusting habit and will kill you. Full stop.
Also, don't tap/flick to ash. 🤌🏼
