Comments on: New Cigarettes Igniting Controversy http://www.smokingmad.com/new-cigarettes-igniting-controversy.html The Resource For The Independent Smoker Tue, 30 Sep 2008 23:46:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: monster http://www.smokingmad.com/new-cigarettes-igniting-controversy.html#comment-36 monster Thu, 24 Jul 2008 06:25:36 +0000 http://www.smokingmad.com/new-cigarettes-igniting-controversy.html#comment-36 i have been a light smoker for over 20 yrs. (about 1/2 pack a day). i've never smoked in bed or burned holes in my clothes, carpeting or car upholstry. since these supposed "safer" cigarettes were forced on smokers by our state government, i now have burns in all of these. i have also received burns to my hands and arms. one burn was serious enough to require first aid. i still have scars. when these cigarettes are not dragged on for a minute or so, they start to go out. you have to puff really hard to get them going again. the cherry starts to burn from the back side causing a separation with the front half of the cherry falling off and burning anything it touches. i and many other people have experienced sore, scratchy throats, headaches and other adverse side effects from these cigarettes. conditions that we had not experienced with the old style cigarettes. the tobacco companies and their lobby say that there are only extra bands of paper added. extra paper alone would not make these cigarettes taste so horribly different or cause all of the health problems people are experiencing. they must be adding yet another unknown chemical to them. the manufacturers will not reveal the ingredients of their products. the FDA has mandated that all consumable products post a list of ingredients on their label. why are tobacco products exempt from this federal mandate? no testing on smokers was ever done on this new product. this is a class action lawsuit just waiting to happen, when it does you can bet that i will be a part of it. someone needs to be held accountable for all of the damages these are causing. these new cigarettes are far more hazzardous than their predecessors ever were. bottom line... these supposed "fire safe cigarettes" have damaged my home, my car, my health and burned my skin. for more info, go to stateline.org and type "fire safe cigarettes" in the google search box. you can read many comments by smokers who are very dissatisfied with fire safe cigaettes. i have been a light smoker for over 20 yrs.

these new cigarettes are far more hazzardous than their predecessors ever were.

Thank God for these fire safe cigarettes. Now I will feel safe when laying my lit cigarette down next to me on the sofa cushion, or on the carpet, while watching TV. No more need reaching for those pesky ashtrays and finding that little slot that holds the cigarette, and might I add, did a fairly good job of extinguishing the cigarette itself.
