As I light up a non-fire safe cigarette.

You dont want to pack them either, they wont stay lit at all if you do.

You mean you have to roll them yourself?

That is one benefit I have noticed, especially when I get busy. I dont come back to a line of ash. The draw backs are there though, they have a different taste and you have to draw harder to get them lit and keep them lit. I have also noticed a light headed feeling after smoking the new firesafe ones, which could be from having to draw harder or could be from the higher carbon monoxide levels.

I don''t smoke anymore, but I was always leaving them burning in the ashtray. I don''t know if I could go through all that with those ones though. I was always pretty careful about making sure they were well into the ashtray though.

I''m wondering what else they added to the cigarette to get it to stop burning. Or do you think that they removed something?

Sounds like you will have an excellent lawsuit against this law. If you are being forced to use a product that causes carbon monoxide poisoning then sur the state. I would if they did this in my state. I had CM poisoing once from an industrial accident, it is not pretty.

Where i live we have the so called "fire safe" cigarette and to tell you the truth they are not worth a shi! i have more burns on clothes than i ever did before it,s hard to drive and smoke just have a good lighter is all i can say.

Well, that should save people money on cigarettes. Some people put them in the ashtray and then most of it burns away. Of course it will cost more for matches and lighters to have to keep relighting them.

It takes about a minute of being left before it goes out.

All these fine laws are a direct result of where your representation goes...via the lobby dollar route.....who do most new laws benefit? In most cases ...its someone who has big lobby dollars invested. Who says you can''t buy get rich legislation?

And the most important one of all, marijuana legal in Massachusets!

Is this complete legalisation or medical use? I didn''t read about this in the article. If it is complete, it is about time.
