FSC Cigarettes | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 824267 11/21/2009 11:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All cigs will be FSC by end of the year. I couldnt stand the cigs now. I bought a tobacco pipe and took the tobacco from the cigs and found that I can take a couple puffs and be satisfied for a few hours compared to having a cig so often. I feel so much better and I really think I can quit because I have found that whatever is in the paper is the most addictive nasty part of a cig itself. If you have a hard time putting down the cigs even though they make you feel so bad, try this until you can give it up!! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 825068 11/23/2009 03:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There you go : 1.4 HOW CAN VINYL ACETATE AFFECT MY HEALTH? People who were exposed to vinyl acetate in air for short periods complained of irritation to their eyes, nose, and throat. One in nine volunteers who breathed air containing 4 ppm of vinyl acetate for 2 minutes had throat irritation. Several volunteers exposed to 72 ppm of vinyl acetate in air for 30 minutes reported coughing and hoarseness and eye irritation. No health effects were found in workers who were exposed to levels around 10 ppm of vinyl acetate in work room air for an average of 15 years of employment. However, we do not know if health effects would occur in people exposed to low levels for longer periods. [link to www.atsdr.cdc.gov] It is good to read the whole thing and to know the trues! I will NOT quit smoking because I know that smoking is NOT bad for me, just the contrary! But adding a toxin like this to the cigarettes is in my opinion criminal! I will not touch these cigarettes! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 826088 11/24/2009 10:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have e-mailed everyone from our governor down, and there was NO research done on the chemical additive to the FSC cigarettes. They have no idea what is in them but "think" the chemical was added to the paper. They pass this law and give no choice, then don't even know what's in them? Can anyone say "depopulation program?". Quoting: disgusted 435782They do actually give you a textual clue on the packets here in England. Pictorial clues are also being used for the illiterate. PS sorry for sarcasm. |
| openeyedfool User ID: 826624 11/25/2009 01:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | whatever they're doing to the cigarettes, i can tell you it's been a long time coming. They have been sooo anti tobacco for these last few years that i find it completely repulsive. Did you know that they're trying to inform people of "third hand smoke", Which is completely ridiculous!!!! all of this is an effort to make us WILLINGLY quit smoking, (you know, so the nation doesn't go into nicotine RAGE). It is also a test to see how the general populace is to the power of suggestion, it sounds kind of ridiculous, but they are creating a Matrix before us as we speak! People, I urge you to save a bundle, roll your own, say fuck these lame attempts of oppression, and show them that we stand for our daughters and sons and fathers and grandfathers who gave their lives for the freedoms that these sly and greedy assholes are trying to take away from us!!!! Might i add, FUCK LAWSUITS, AND FUCK INSURANCE COMPANIES!!!! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 830150 11/29/2009 11:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Take the Tobacco from your cigs and put it in a tobacco pipe. You will find that your craving for a smoke will be satisfied with only a couple tokes. You will find you dont crave as many cigs. And you will feel better and realize the "addiction" was in the paper. You will smoke way less. And may fine you can even quit them. Try it! |

I can actually feel it in my lungs. If I stand for a period of time my heart starts palpitating. It's worse if I smoke a cigarrette. Can anyone tell me what can we do. I feel this is our government exercising their right now to choose who lives and who dies. |
| BlackjackDealer User ID: 831409 12/01/2009 04:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I work in a Casino dealing blackjack. I have herd about this new law recently going into effect. My question to you all is, If smoking a fsc cigarette is worse and contains more bad toxins, How much worse is this for me being around smokers all day breathing second hand smoke? I feel like the last few months something has effected my appetite, but im not sure what. |
| rclark23 User ID: 831940 12/02/2009 10:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Read and sign petition here: Repeal Fire Safe Cigarette LawsTarget Governor Ed RendellSponsored by: Citizens Against Fire Safe Cigarettes Link: [link to www.thepetitionsite.com] Ingrediants: 4) The added and higher level chemicals contained in FSC cigarettes has proven to be more toxic than regular cigarettes and cause increased health related problems for smokers. Symptoms/conditions include, but are not limited to: Nausea, Sores in mouth and throat, Dry throat, constant headaches, extreme coughing, tightness in the chest, vomiting, body aches, pain in the abdomen and respiratory conditions including asthma and bronchitis. a. The Harvard School of Health reported that when comparing NY Cigarettes (FSC) versus Regular Cigarettes, the FSC cigarettes produced 13.9% more Naphthalene and 11.4% more carbon monoxide than regular cigarettes.[1] Naphthalene is commonly found in moth balls, and exposure in high amounts can result in %u201CSymptoms of acute exposure include headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malaise, confusion, anemia, jaundice, convulsions, and coma.%u201D[2] Therefore, it has been proven that FSC cigarettes contain higher levels of chemicals that are harmful to smokers. b. Phillip Morris USA has reported that the Adhesive ethylene vinyl acetate and polyvinyl acetate are used in the non-tobacco ingredients of cigarettes produced as a Side-seam adhesive. However, Phillip Morris USA fails to distinguish the differences in levels between regular and FSC cigarettes. The amount does not exceed .6 % combined.[3] Since additional layers of paper are used in FSC cigarettes, more adhesive is needed in the form of ethylene vinyl acetate. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 828476 12/02/2009 02:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK, another heads up! All the cig filter tubes for roll yer own are also laced with this stuff, even the tubes that are made in Canada. Now, the only way to get away from that krap is to use a pipe to smoke your tobacco, or switch to electronic cig. I just got my first electronic cig starter kit from "ENVY" for $35.00 from my local tobacco shop. I don't know how they got them in so cheap, but I ain't complaining! Now I'm gonna go get me a good tobacco pipe, and say goodbye to paper and filter tubes, and/or 'tailor made' cigarettes forever! |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 828476 12/02/2009 02:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Heads up on another option! You can go to your local 'head shop' and get what's called a 'dugout & bat, also known as a 'cigarette eliminator'. The dugout is for holding/carrying the tobacco (or pot), and the 'bat', (which looks like a cigarette) is for smoking what you load from the 'dugout'. Best wishes! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 828476All the cig filter tubes for roll yer own are also laced with this stuff, even the tubes that are made in Canada. Where is your source on this information? Everything I have read only says this applies to machine manufactured cigarettes. My brother switched to the Zig-Zag filter tubes and keeps telling me he noticed a huge difference. I saw him taking tobacoo out of his regular cigarettes and then rolling them, which I thought was weird, but he swears he its better and goes on and on about it. He smokes alot of weed also and I noticed a difference in his coughing. Before he would cough and cough and cough, I would get annoyed. Im not really sure if it got worse or not since the "fsc" cigarettes but I tell you I started noticing it recently. Now he does not cough and if he does it does not sound anywhere as bad as it was a few weeks ago. So what makes you say the zig-zag filter tubes are the same? I think maybe they might have a small amount of glue, hopefully not the carpet glue, something has to hold the paper stuck together, but no where near as much as there is now. Please tell me where you herd this? ![]() |

I've had it for 48 hours and since I have only smoked 4 real ciggerettes. They give you the nicotine so you don't want a cigg. And the "smoke" is vaper like out a fog machine so its not bad for your lungs. Didn't America go to war with England over taxes on Tobacco, isn't that war what created our country? On a sidenote, I have 9 cartons of non FSC Marb Medium 100's. email me at crippledbazoka@yahoo.com OK, another heads up!
