Re: FSC Cigarettes
I am unsure if that's all this change is (THE FSC) -- because not only doesn't the cigarette stay lit, I noticed before I even realized that they changed my cigarette, becoming the FSC that is today, a funny taste. I kept complaining about it and right before I was going to write the manufacturer of my cigarettes about one, it not staying lit and two, the funny taste, I was informed about these new FSC's. I have to wonder if they've also added something. I can't believe that it would taste different from removing whatever it is this thread is saying they removed. I think something was added, if not more than one ingredient. I hate the FSC's!!! Well, maybe it'll help me quit!

Re: FSC Cigarettes
rantI signed the petition and also added this sweet little note along with it. First time here by the way. My hubby is real, REAL sick and I'm "sick" of hearing, "Well just quit then if it's making you sick...." SLAP!!!! I freaking HATE hearing that, like it's so easy. "..Well my goodness, thank you, I was unaware that this was all I needed to do. Really, just quit? Why thank you dear person for stating the obvious that I apparently am too weak minded to have figured out on my own...."*insert sarcasm wherever you like*

Petition Statement:
I smoked for 15 yrs and was LUCKY enough to quit. But I still don't like the fact that the Government can step in and regulate a LEGAL choice such as smoking and turn it into a vendetta to get rid of us lowly, nasty smokers. Funny though...I never once hit someone with my car because of smoking, was prompted into a physical altercation because of smoking, alienated myself from my friends and family because of smoking....but ALCOHOL sure has!! Why doesn't the government start all these INSANE regulations on the choice people have made when it comes to drinking. People die every minute of every day due to alcohol related behavior. Regulate that you idiots!

...too harsh? (lol) Deb =)

Time for another rant

It’s the principle. I don't like the government dictating what I choose to do. I am an adult and an American, and last time I checked, we had the right to make our own choices in this country. If I want to be an idiot and smoke, that's my choice, no one else’s. It all just boils down to being free to make up our own minds as long as it doesn't harm someone else...and second hand smoke?....no worse than the pollutants factories put out into the air, no worse than the emissions from our vehicles, no worse than the garbage dumps that emit toxic gases. I guess we can shut down all the factories, stop driving and quit throwing our trash away. Silly I know, but do you see the point I'm trying to make?

We stand in our little 5X5 space outside the workplace, making sure we're at least 15 ft away from any entrance, pay the extra taxes, purchase the product from behind iron/glass cages with high tech locks on them (you'd think they were made of gold or something) we put up with the total and complete strangers who feel its their life’s mission to walk up to us and tell us, without knowing us, just what kind of scum we are and how we all deserve what we get....that's so rude. You don’t do that to people, but we put up with it. And now here you are bashing us once again when you yourself were part of this group at one time. Kudos for quitting and way to go! Good for you...but could you please...just this once...try and understand? You have the choice to smoke or not smoke...so do we. Let us have our choice and go about your business. We won’t bother you, you don't bother us. Sounds fair to me.

P.S. I have the pride to sign my name here.
I'm proud of my opinion.

Re: FSC Cigarettes
It makes no difference to me what the chemical is in the new FSC cigarettes. I know that it is having a seriously negative impact on my health. I believe that in a few years we will all be hearing about the massive number of smokers dying from whatever this chemical is while the government tries to deny that the health problems have anything to do with the FSC designation.

I just found a much better alternative. Make your own! There are cigarette tubes with filters, simple and inexpensive machines to inject the tobacco into the tubes, and a great variety of tobacco on the market. I went to a local tobacco store and bought some tobacco and some tubes and a $10 hand injector. Amazing. I've been smoking Parliament for 30 years and these are BETTER! Far fewer chemicals and a better taste. All for about $12 per carton. There are endless varieties of full-flavored and light tobaccos and tubes on the market to satisfy any taste. There is no reason NOT to make your own.

Why are we supporting these ridiculous tobacco companies and the government who is trying to take away all smokers' rights when we could just make our own? What happened to the Land of the Free anyway?

Re: FSC Cigarettes
wtfThe FSC cigarettes are simply not enjoyable to smoke--I will never buy another Marlboro product again now that I no longer seem to be able to get the real (non FSC) product. I live in Illinois, and the first carton I bought of these poisoned butts I returned to the store thinking I had just gotten a damaged product. Since I found out the reality behind this I've been driving to Indiana or Wisconsin, where I was still able to buy the real thing. Last Saturday I bought 4 cartons of these dogs, thinking I was stocking up on what I feared might be the last reds I'd ever be able to get (as some friends heard a rumor that Indiana and Wisconsin were changing too). Well, shame on me for not checking the bar code--but when I got home and realized these were the FSC's I was crushed. But it all has a happy ending: I happened in to our local tobacco shop and bought a rizla cigarette tube filling machine ($9), some tubes (empty cigarettes with filters) and a couple ounces of some wonderful Virginia and Turkish blend tobacco, and I've been loving these to the point that I will not touch the FSC boros except to take the tobacco out and mix it with my blend to get some value for the hard earned cash I plunked down on the vile shit now masquerading under the Marlboro logo.

What I can't fathom is how the cig companies could allow their product--trade protected formulas closely guarded and valued for decades--to be utterly ruined and that this would occur with nary a peep of news to customers or the general public. It's as if the government decreed that only "new" coke could be legally sold but that all the cases had to be shaken up before being shipped.

My boyfriend quit because of these. You have to fight to keep them lit. They made his throat hurt. They made him sick. So after 25yrs of smoking he's done.

The chemical that is used is called ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. Which is also used in dry wall.

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?".

Re: FSC Cigarettes
man they just got these here, noticed a pack i bought had FSC on the barcode..barely could finish them..nasty! Had a cherry fall off half way through the back, normally that is pretty rare.

Zig Zag cigs which just came out here recently are not FSC at the smoke shop and American spirit aren't YET. The zig zag stuff is holding me off for now.

might invest into stuffing my own

this is outrageous and something needs to be done, smokers out there needa let their voices be heard. I wonder how many even notice the difference yet, it's pretty hard not too.

only 17 states left where there are no FSC, all are planned by 2011 to go full FSC.

these things are more TOXIC than they need to be. And not fire safe at all, the word needs to be spread amoung smokers who don't like being pushed around by bureaucrats. There is a Conspiracy behind all this, and it needs to be revealed
