This is a great idea and all but are they also designed to prevent you from getting lung cancer? The new cigarettes may stop you from setting your house on fire but you will still die from cancer, why bother? The only solution is to stop making them altogether, they’re an extremely nasty habit and terrible health risk.
friends in New Hampshire, Vermont and New York. Without their brilliance we would all be doomed to…..enjoy ourselves as we see fit. Could you next turn your attention to what we eat? Oh, you already did that too.
I don’t smoke, so I don’t know if the cost of cigarettes has increased because some brands are now fire safe, or if they taste different. But if the “experience” nor cost has changed, why the complaining?
The “live free or die” tree huggers in NH are fooling and deluding themselves. Cigarettes do not cause fires, fatal or otherwise. Gross human stupidity is the proximate cause. Unfortunately, you can’t engineer stupidity out of the human being so we have to chase our tails trying to protect idiots from themselves.
Disgusting habit aside, this law isn’t meant to prevent people from smoking. Only make the risk of accidental fire less. So I don’t think your rant belongs here.
Really? And who appointed you king? Anytime blame/causation is wrongly assigned, I think it’s fair game to comment. What’s next? Candles that extinguish themselves? The cost to society of tolerating irresponsible and negligent behavior is mind boggling. Hopefully the only ones who will pay for this latest “price of non-conformance” will be the smokers.
in socialist Vermont, New Hampshire, or New York they can already choose them. But now they don’t have a choice, do they?
Do you think smokers, or the users of the product now banned, were consulted about their preference? I suspect this expensive legislation was introduced by wannabe do-gooders who, despite a lot of long hard thought, just couldnt come up with any reason not to!!!!! Again, maybe if they consulted the users they might have a few reasons. Look out – lets hope they don’t make an association with alcohol consumption and house fires. Those states could then be not only a haven for socialist do-gooders, they could be dry.
I think it’s time to leave smokers alone. So long as they don’t infringe on the rights of others, they are doing something that is legal and socially acceptable. Every smoker deserves the right to make their own decisions, including running the risk of incinerating themself by careless smoking or getting lung cancer.
I have to wear a seatbelt! Wah!! I have to wear a helmet! Wah!! I can’t use a cell phone while driving! Wah!! I can’t drink and drive! Wah!!! I have to buy self-extinguishing cigarettes! WAH!!!
You people and your “My personal freedoms are being taken away” mantra need to ask, are your personal freedoms REALLY being taken away???? When the government starts deciding how many kids you can have and what kind of religion to follow, maybe then you should start worrying! Until then, give it a rest! If things are so bad, run for office so you can have life exactly as you want it.

Melissa,
Problem is, they aren’t running the risk of incinerating only themselves or their property.
