Fire Safety Cigarettes Suck for Smokers

Fire Safety Cigarettes:

Notice the FSC Label

Notice the FSC Label

Fire safety cigarettes are coming and may already be on your store shelves. It’s just one more way for the government to step in to interfere in our lives in a futile attempt to protect a small percentage of lazy, stupid people from burning themselves alive and the new FSC brand of cigarettes suck, literally!

What started in New York in 2004 and has now spread to at least 21 other states through advocates who have bypassed getting fire safe cigarette legislation passed through Congress, instead going directly to the states using the Coalition for Fire Safe Cigarettes. Now we can all drink heavily and pass out in bed with a lit cigarette and feel safe.

As on man interviewed said “People that smoke in bed should have been cleansed from the gene pool anyway, now we’ll have to put up with them”.  According to the CDC smoking will kill you too, but in today’s bright & cheery economy, I think many people smoke to cope with their newly discovered sub-standard life style in an attempt at a slow suicide to avoid having to work until they’re 90.

So what sucks about FSC cigarettes? YOU! You literally have to suck you ass off to get  a decent drag from the cigarette. Nobody told me about the FSC changeover, but already I was noticing something odd about my cigarettes. They tasted a bit different, probably due to the extra strips of (chemically treated?) paper added to extinguish the fire. So, unless you just hotbox a smoke, any time you take a break to talk or perhaps breathe, the cig immediately starts to go out, so when you take another drag, you have to huff & puff to get it started again. By the time I finished several smokes, my cheeks were getting sore from all the sucking. It’s enough to make you quit smoking altogether….which is perhaps their REAL goal.

I can think of better things for the state governments to interfere in;  how about cell phone usage in cars? I’m sure that kills many more people than dying in a house fire because of a lit cigarette. How about FSC candles and gas stoves that go out before your Spaghetti-O’s are warm? How about making dud bullets to give you a second chance when trying to commit suicide or shooting your neighbor? (BTW, I’m just joking about the last suggestion – suicide sucks)

What can you do about this sneaky new law? Click here to sign a petition to get it repealed, but be sure to leave a comment on your feelings about fire safety cigarettes.

I tried them and they suck. You get a sore mouth from excessive puffing and they taste like paper, not tobacco.

I live in Ohio, but was in KY and bought 2 packs of Marlboros. I noticed the difference by the first cigarette. What the hell? This ain’t smoking right.
Also, if you try to flick your ash out the window of your car while you’re driving, the fire end may come off. How is this safer? The fire comes right back in your car….in the back seat.

These cigarettes suck. I got a sore throat and a dry hacking cough as well and headaches and nausea from smoking these. Stupid stupid stupid people trying to protect other people from their own stupidity. I say let the stupid people burn themselves up and the rest of us not so stupid people enjoy our bad habit in peace.

I hate the damn things. Today I went to like 8 stores and had the cashier look for a pack of Basic\’s that didn\’t have the FSC tag above the bar-code, complaining the whole time and realizing that (acording to the cashiers) that everyone was complaining(the poor guy said he almost got in a fight with someone over them less than an hour before I come in.They taste like crap and while you are sucking on the unlit butt to try to get a decent puff, you are gagging and end up throwing the whole half of cigarette away. Uck!

I am absolutely furious over the new FSC’s!!!! They taste horrible, they make me sick to my stomach, and I am so sick of the damn things going out every 2 seconds. Who the hell does our Gov’t think they are? I have had to switch brands just to avoid smoking an FSC. I can’t wait until all the law suits start piling up on the dumb ass that made these poisonous things!

I have read all of the comments above and have a few things to say also… I also HATE the FSC, I have smoked for 35 years and have smoked ALL types and flavors of cigs over the years and these FSC are by far are the most sickening things I have ever put fire to! All of the issues stated above are true…sucking your ass off, the cherry falling off, getting the feeling of nausea and headache, etc. So, I took one of my 25 cent cigs. and took it to my cutting board and disected it…this cig stamped FSC, DOES NOT have extra strips of paper inside, the tobacco shows NO visable evidence of anything mixed in it, nor does the filter…So my question is WHAT chemicals are being used to snuff these cigs as these do??? I feel we have a right to know!!! They made cigs legal years ago, tax the shit out of them, and now poison them…It’s all Bullshit!!!!!!!!!!

I think the new paper is more of a fire hazard. I have noticed rings of burning paper falling off the cigarettes and burning my clothes, my hands, arms and they just suck. Never had that with normal cigarettes If they want to make cigs so bad, why don’t they make them illegal? Because they want the tax money.

FSC can SMB and the person who made them also! I also took apart one of my cigs by knocking all of the tobacco out of the paper. No “special” rings that i could see. I lit the paper and it burnt right up! I then rolled the tobacco in a paper and started to smoke it. It went out in less than a min!! theres gotta be some chemical mixed in with the tobacco on top of w/e they do to the paper. Why not sell me a gun and a bullet with a pack of cigs now. Would kill me just as fast but less suffering from having to smoke this shit!@#$%@!#

I am going to one of the states like VA, NC, SD, NM, or NV to buy my cigs the last 3 states have not filed for the \"FSC\" so they should still be good.
We can blame Bush, this came about b4 Obama\’s time. I started smoking American Spirits for the NO CHEM. I am over the gov\’t interference, again & again.

My wife and I bought a few packs of Marlboro red 100’s, and then I went to work. Later when I got home (after noticing something odd while smoking at work), she asked me if my cigs kept going out. I later realized that these were the new FSC packs. We used to smoke American Spirit brand- and they sent us a letter about two months ago saying that this was going to happen. We did not know it was going to be THIS bad! I used to smoke slowly- now I get a high just trying to keep it lit! Much safer.

Here is what I think…. I think that the government has tried passing the no smoking laws and it is not working. They jacked the prices up sky high and it didn’t work. Now they are forcing the tobacco companies to change the cigarattes for ( fire safety) for their benefit. These new FSC cigs taste bad. This is our free country.. They are trying to make it a smoke free country now?

I don\’t know if anyone already posted this but the chemical (or rather chemicals) they added are \"[sic] adhesive ethelyne vinyl acetate\" which is an adhesive made by Dupont© which is used in flooring to adhere carpet to hardwood floor (or linoleum, tile, etc.) And that has to end up killing more people that it saves. They might save a few hundred lives a year from fire, but the people that must be dying frome these chemicals far outweighs the people its saving. If you\’re stupid enough to die from fire from your own cigarette then you deserve it. Its called survival of the fittest for a reason. Nowadays it seems the dumber of the bunch are going further than the rest because of stuff like this.

IF YOU\’RE DUMB ENOUGH (or drunk enough) TO FALL ASLEEP WITH A CIGARETTE, THEN MAYBE YOU DESERVE TO DIE.

Leave it to Big Brother to make the cig companies add something to tobacco so it won\’t burn. Next…candles that don\’t burn? Screw Congressman Joe Moakley from MA and Senator Alan Cranston, CA for making this happen. I hope there is a way to stop it short of growing my own tobacco. Smoking used to be enjoyable. Fuck the fucking fuckers. Welcome to the USSA.

The simple fact that the tobacco companies didn’t go on some big ad campaign to inform us that “New” products would be hitting the shelves…..goes to show you how fucking sneaky they are!! And they just “snuck” them on the shelves, and we, the consumers were not told of the changes in the products WE buy!! They KNEW this was not going to go over….I agree with the others….lets all quit smoking cigarettes….put our efforts into legalizing pot..or learn to grow it ourselves….and FUCK the cigeratte companies AND the government!! We’ll all be a LOT happier and healthier and the cig. corporations and government can fuck each other!!

Placing the addiction factor to nicotine aside, which is insidious, the choice to smoke or not to smoke is a personal civil right. We are living in America for crying out loud. It is totally unethical and unnecessary to further subject smokers to additional chemicals. I smoked MORE cigarettes for years (120mm length). The reason I smoked them was they were safer and more cost effective. Being a longer length and having a smaller diameter required them to be actively smoked or they would “self extinguish”. I didn’t mind re-lighting. It saved me $$$. I am not an engineer but I knew exactly why this phenomena occurred. MORE cigarettes are packed tighter (more tobacco) and with them being longer in length there was less back draft of oxygen. I could literally set a MORE cigarette down in an ashtray and within 30 sec it would “self extinguish”. The same occurred if I just held onto a lit cigarette and didn’t actively draw on it. What I learned very quickly (within the first pack I smoked of MORE cigarettes) was that I didn’t really smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day…I was smoking one pack and burning up the other 2 packs of cigarettes due to lighting up and setting the cigarette in a ashtray as I was working. The makers Of MORE cigarettes know full well this phenomena exists with that brand, thus they are priced much higher, no doubt because the less packs purchased cuts profit. So instead of 5.75 a pack for some other brand your paying nearly $8.00 per pack for MORE’s. I want to know why the burden of risk and cost is passed onto the consumer instead of where it rightly belongs…with the manufacturer. If truth were known most house fires due to cigarettes are associated with the cheapest of generic brands on the market, that are very loosely packed and burn up just as fast as a 6 month old live Christmas tree! This law needs to be repealed. It is extrapolating the dangers of smoking ten fold while still raking in profits for the manufacturers and the cities, states, and the feds through taxes. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH YOU GREEDY @#%!*@#*!

Man, I noticed the switch in Wv. They taste horrible and don’t have a good reaction with my system. I did like other search for them without em and found one pack. I am quitting now because they taste so bad. Whats the gov going to do when their tax money off this starts dropping fast? Tax us someplace else.
