Answer 1

Cigarettes which fit into the new fire-safe category have a long black bar over the bar code on the cigarette package.

It's a law in New York to have the fire-safe cigs.

Answer 2

It's the paper that has always kept the cigarettes lit. I'm not familiar with the new 'safe cigarette law' as I quit 2 years ago after smoking 11 years. But if you look closely at your cigarette you see 'rings' around the paper all the way up (light greyish) or some have more of a pinstriping due to copyrights and patents and all... The rings (or stripes) are a variation on gun powder that keep the cigarette lit if you set it down. It's not really in the tabacco... so if you smoke it out of a pipe you shouldn't have the same issue. (Which is why the lighter gets passed at the same time as the bong - The s__t won't stay lit on its own.)


For the Jack_ _ _ that gave the thumbs down...

The paper for holding the tobacco blend may vary in porosity to allow ventilation of the burning ember or contain materials that controls the burning rate of the cigarette and stability of the produced ash. The papers used in tipping the cigarette (forming the mouthpiece) and surrounding the filter stabilizes the mouthpiece from saliva and moderates the burning of the cigarette as well as the delivery of smoke with presence of one or two rows of small laser-drilled air holes.

The cigarette has evolved much since its conception; for example, the thin bands that travel transverse to the "axis of smoking" (thus forming circles along the length of the cigarette) are alternate sections of thin and thick paper to facilitate effective burning when being drawn, and retard burning when at rest. Synthetic particulate filters remove some of the tar before it reaches the smoker.

Answer 3

You just didn't get it lit enough. Ask yourself this question. If you made ciggaretts to sell why would you put something in them that makes them go out after being lit. Wouldn't you want them to burn up faster so you could sell more? Kind of a no-Brainer isn't it?

Answer 4

This is a new law in California. It's considered a safety issue.
