I just lit the filter end of my smoke. I think that is the first time I’ve ever done that. Had one of those yellow-brown filters, too, not the confusing Marlboro Light types.
Whaddya think… rip the filter off and smoke it, or just call it a loss?
I’m sorry, man. I think it’s done… 
The best things in life are Italian…that’s the thing, though…I’m not Italian.
It’s a loss. Just throw it away, and pay more attention next time :).
First time lighting the wrong end? How long have you been a smoker? I’ve done it a zillion times (Of course, by the time I get to have a smoke I’m so crazed that I’ll light anything).

Been smoking about five years. Around than half a pack a day. It was a pretty good streak while it lasted…
Adding to the situation, I have one cig left and I’m soon to go to bed.
You know you’ve really got a problem when you’re all out, you’re too lazy to walk to the convenience store, and you start hunting for either (1) four month old cigarettes in your jacket pocket or (2) cigarette butts that were put out too soon.
Another sign that you’re pretty pathetic:
You are starving, but also are out of cigarettes. You have five dollars to your name. You choose to get the cigarettes.
Go ahead a smoke the filter end. What different does it make? Kill yourself fast or slow, it’s your choice.
Have you never heard the Immortal Name of Dennis Leary? Obviously not, or else you would know that the filter is where they hide the heroin! Smoke it. Smoke the whole thing, filter and all!

Wait until you drop one, pick it up without paying attention, and then take a long, deep drag of burning coal…
Things won’t taste the same for a month.

Its probably to late, but you could have cut off just the burnt tip of the filter with some scissors and still have most of the filter left.
Hm. Interesting idea…
BTW, I ended smoking the damn thing sans filter.
Jeez, I can’t tell you how good it is to read a thread by people who admit that they smoke, and whaddya gonna do about it?! This afternoon, I cadged a smoke from a passerby, and it was a Maverick! My brand, which I’ve never seen anyone else buy or consume before! Woohoo!
Remember, I’m pulling for you; we’re all in this together.

I once had a boss who smoked filterless cigarettes like a chimney. I put a cig load into one of his cigarettes once. You know the kind, like “on TV” where a cigar expands exactly six different ways, and then hilarity ensues. Well as I was watching him smoke, I noticed that he had a habit of pulling the cig out of the pack and sticking the other end in his mouth! With filtered cigs, the last part of the cig out of the pack is the end you light. This is the end he puts in his mouth. So what does this mean?
Well, it means that “coulda-been” good story has a boring ending. I had to tell him I loaded his cig, and worse, I didn’t know which one it was, so I had to buy him a new pack.

I AM A SMOKER! I will rip off the filter and smoke the damn thing if I accidentally lit the wrong end and am nearly out of smokes, which have gone up from $15 to $25 a carton and I can still recall buying them at $5 and getting packs from machines for 25 cents until everybody in their brother started suing the tobacco companies and the companies started passing the cost on to us smokers and FUCK YOU with your designated smoking areas and not allowing me to smoke in some restaurants, which I no longer visit because of that.
WHEW! That was like taking a good crap!
Once, when I was a drinking man and this no smoking craze hit, I started going to a little bar after work simply because, on the door it had a sign I liked. Now, this was when they were thinking about forcing bars to become smoke free. The sign simply said; 'Smoking Allowed In This Establishment. If This offends You, We Do Not Need Your Business.'
The place was usually packed!
What? Me worry?’
No, it’s a sign you’re addicted.
YOU, on the other hand, judgmental wench, are pathetic.
