Hi Dantheman62,
I've always used the word 'fag' for a ciggie. I had a quick look for the origin.
It comes from the Greek word 'Faggot' which means a bundle of sticks,which is how a packet of ciggarettes appeared to be in the olden days when they were wrapped together.
Also in the past a famous brand of ciggarette was Woodbine or 'Woodies'.
Could there be a link? Who knows? Who really cares?
Best regards,
Steve

I've been through this with Antaletriangle before, but I'm really curious where that came from. Any ideas? I mean did it start way back? or is it a new thing? When Antaletriangle was in Florida once he asked a guy for a fag and the guy looked at him like he had two heads!, LOL!
