Yeah it didn't hit me on the iris or pupil area I guess, was very lucky. I'll ask my parents about it in the morning as I was very young when this happened and the memory of the day is quite fuzzy. But I remember running around while my parents were outside chatting and smoking, someone had their arm hanging out over the arm rest in the patio chair, and I just ran face first into the lit cigarette.

E: just talked to dad. Idk how I even remember this, but apparently I was only about 2 or 3 yrs old, and yeah, I just ran face first into his lit cigarette. Superficial damage only, but made himself feel absolutely terrible thinking he'd blinded me lol.
