Self Extinguishing Cigarette Law

I just read on an unrelated forum that many smokers in US are noticing a different taste & dizziness & nausea after smoking recently purchased cigarettes of their regular brand. I know that I will probably get flamed from the anti-smoking crowd, but some poster's suggest a recently passed law mandates that all cigarettes self extinguish after 45 seconds of dormancy. Anyone aware of this law or details of new added chemicals?

I read this is the law in new york but here in michigan I havent seen it.my wife leaves them sitting for along time and thay dont bern out

This is quite interesting I haven't heard of this, if you have links or more info I'd be interested in hearing.

Unfortunately my cigarettes don't tend to stay idle for nearly anywhere resembling 45 seconds.

So you're telling me that something comprised of hundreds of chemicals, which you light on fire and breathe into your lungs, makes you feel ill?

Oh nos!

I roll my own.

It's a lot cheaper and you get pure tobacco.

And, they tend to go out when left. Less waste, more death for us roll up smokers.

www.cga.ct.gov... Fire-safe cigarettes are designed to be self-extinguishing. They have the same characteristics and cost the same as other cigarettes, but they stop burning when left unattended, thereby reducing the chance of starting a fire.

THats awful. I don't roll mine. I do not smoke. Smokeing is for loooooooossssseeeerrss. It is nastey and gay. Anyway, what is this about exacly. DO you smoke... r u agionst it. Don't get it sorry. Alittle slow... duh
peace

It's my understanding, that a while back, big tabacco companys actually added in chemicals to keep cigarettes burning, so if left unattended the whole thing could go to waste....thus selling more cigs in the end. I roll my own as well, and can smoke for an entire month for just under 7$, they are also chem free and go out if you don't puff on them. Why would pre rolled smokes need a chemical added in to go out faster, when it does so in a natural state free of chemical additives? I just tested one of my freshly rolled smokes...it went out in 21 seconds, without ANY additives.


"different taste & dizziness & nausea after smoking recently purchased cigarettes of their regular brand"

Sounds like they had thier first taste of real tabacco in a long time, cigarettes should provide a buzz(dizzyness) unless you chain smoke, the taste may be chem free now, and a little nausea from smoking too much real untainted tabacco.

Nastey [sic] it may be, but I didn't realise there was a direct correlation between smoking and homosexuality, do you have a link to this study by any chance?

Its gay because its cool. Like its bad means its good!

I picked up smoking again ( peer pressure...yes i'm a weakling) and I do feel nauseous after two parlaments in a row.

Gay in the Internet lexicon means Bad/Stupid/Inane. It's meaning Gay = Happy has been twisted by the Net generation to mean the exact opposite. It has nothing to do with Homosexuality. I guess theres a generation gap in your knowledge of slang eh?

Sardion - I got the impression that maybe they were being sarcastic. Some people get offended by people using the word "gay" as meaning lame or bad. I don't think they literally took it for being homosexual.

I don't want to be a know-it-all but I don't think any of you are correctly translating foxylad-ay's message.

First of all "nastey" can be roughly translated as "awesome." For further information on this word, please see Janet Jackson (Ms. Jackson if you're nastey).

By referring to cigarette smoking as "gay", foxylad-ay is trying to say that when you smoke a cigarette it makes you so sexy that you risk attracting individuals outside your target sexual orientation.

For example, I am a straight male, but when I smoke I not only get hit on by chicks but by dudes too because I am irresistable. It's nastey. When I'm super gay, I will even attract animals outside my species who find me to be totally hot in a dangerous and mysterious way.

So there I am surrounded by nastey dudes and chicks with dogs humping my leg and everyone's like "U R $!"

And I'm like "no I M 2 gay 4 U looooooooooooooser."
