As a teenager I smoked (didn't we all?) anyhow trying to look cool on our bikes made for cigarettes that took only seconds to burn right down to the but as we accelerated.
Worse, I have always liked the flip front helmets even as a spotty 16 year old and many was the time I'd be cruising along with a fag in my gob and the bluddy lid would come down like a guilotine and chop the end off, this burning ember would then fall down my shirt front and set fire to my clothes....no wonder I gave up smoking! 
I quit smoking the day I started cussing the cigarette for the smoke in my eyes while I was trying to set the points on someone's 750 one hot August afternoon!
Talk about being stoopid... !
I went to the shop door, pitched the rest of the pack and the butt out into the parking lot. Another kid was standing there watching, and said, "Hey, don't you want those?" I replied, "Knock yourself out" and went back in to finish the tuneup.
One of my smarter moments.
