what? how can a cigarette be fire safe? it has to burn something in order for the individual to inhale. if you can get a burn just by touching the cigarette, then it won’t matter of it not being unattended. it just means you need folks to be more attentative of their own actions. make them responsible if it is their cigarette. this is just a bad lame bill just to get attention.
Did you even read the article? Obviously the cig has to burn to be smoked, but he is proposing a special paper that extinguishes itself in a few seconds if unattended. If it doesn’t cost substantially more it makes sense.
Yeah, I agree. Add some flame retardent to the paper so that discarded cigs won’t start fires. Speculation is that this was the cause of the SC blaze that killed 9 firemen – discarded cigarette butts.
Let’s add another chemical to the weed and nicotene and dead bugs and pesticides and whatever else is in those cancer sticks. Another advantage; some lawyer is already getting a suit filing together to sue the paper company for causing cancer.
We’ve all heard it before. If it doesn’t cost more to make this change and doesn’t affect the “experience” of smoking, why not do it? Then, there are those who say they have a right to smoke non fire safe cigarettes and this is nothing more than the MAN imposing his will on Joe Everyday…
I just don’t see how people are against making healthy lifestyle changes. While we’re at it, I think we should go back to using lead paint… or did we already do that and I missed it?

Hey-if the papers make the smoker puff more frequently (to keep the thing going), will they get to the end more quickly and want another? Hmmmm…

We are using it, there just hasn’t been a recall so we are unsure which ones have lead.
Are they oputting computor chips in cigarettes too? By the price now you would think so. My computor goes out when left alone a minute or two.
Can anyone enlighten me as to anything positive about cigarettes? I haven’t heard one thing, everything is negative.
Given this, why isn’t production/use immediately banned?
Smoking makes you cool and makes women want you. Didn’t you learn anything in school?
