I figured out real quick what was wrong when I started reading this and now it makes since, I have been going to the hospital for 2 years now and they haven't been able to tell me whats wrong with me. I've sent thousand and thousand of dollars at the hospital with no answers, and not to long ago I bought some old cigs at the store I work at, they were out of date and no one was buying them, so I bought them. They weren't fire safe and for 2 weeks I felt great, I wasn't throwing up or living in the bathroom and wasn't lying in bed because my stomach hurt so much. Its the cigs. You would think that the government makes enough money from all of our little habits but when they are having people pay out the ass for hospital bills because no one wanted to tell smokers whats in the new cigs. And its gotten to the point were I firmly believe the government is trying to kill us on purpose, and when you think about it its true, people now adays are living way to long and the government is having to pay for those people but then they think about the people that smoke who are taking death into there hands everytime they light a cig so why not help them out right, because we are obviously just wanting to die anyway. REALLY because thats what its starting to amount to, and here soon enough they will probably put something in Alcohol to try and kill the drunks. THIS NEEDS TO STOP WE NEED TO STAND UP TO THE GOVERNMENT AND SHOW THAT GOD HANDLES WHEN WE DIE NOT THEM, and if your a smoker like me then I'm sure you understand the risks of smoking and I was better with the risks when I started then I am now, and all smokers know you just can't quit on a whim. And for the people like me who have been in and out of the hospital and spending all my money on bills that should not be there, the government should take care of that. Not everyone has an easy life and the government people just get to sit on there high pedestals and sit on all there cash, while 22 year olds are in debt living with there parents because they can't afford to go and buy a house or feed there family. I know I'm not the only one we need to do something. Because I can't live like this anymore, because people will still be getting hurt even if I quit smoking. Quoting: SMHeaver01 you mean the alcohol... |

Quoting: Brunhilda nah they put 3 bands in the paper that are less porous than the rest of the cig. if you leave them to burn without sucking on them they will extinguish when they hit these bands. the question is how do they make those parts of the paper less porous ? i suspect they use some sort of gunk |

Different companies use different materials..." so it could be anything "Fire safe cigarettes (abbreviated "FSC": also known as ... Reduced Ignition Propensity [RIP] cigarettes) ..." LOL. nice :\ |

When they first came out, they would burn out on their own all the time.. I read something a few years ago about this, and they added a chemical similar to carpet glue to slow the rate of the burn and to make the cig go out quicker when touched to something. |

Fuckin hate it especially then I'm drunk and don't suck on the cancer stick for a minute only to find out its extinguished itself. You know what they say, love is like a cigar, the flame can go out but once you relight it itnevertastes the same again. |
