"Flash the ash"

"Are your fags damp?"

"Is it my crash?"

All smoking related phrases, you'll notice.
Also with the decline in smokers generally, and the price of cigarettes specifically, the act of "crashing" your cigarettes (like a round of drinks where, when it's your "crash" you pass around the cigarettes) has gon the way of the dodo.

Another related phrase that seems to have all but disappeared, and probably for the same reason, is "You put a dogs @rse on that!" meaning that when you returned a shared ciggy, you left the filter wet!
