Cigaretiquette

Unspoken set of rules among smokers and non-smokers for cigarette-related situations.
Proper cigaretiquette includes never asking to bum a cigarette from someone with less than 4 in their pack, lighting someone's cigarette when they don't have a lighter, and always asking if smoking is acceptable when in a non-smoker's car.
