Why do my cigarettes keep going out on me?

Question

My cigarettes keep going out if I leave them burning without taking a drag of it.Are the cigarette companies using a new type of paper or something,maybe to help prevent accidental fires and stuff like that?

Answer 1

Actually, its not just California. Several states have them now. I live in Massachusetts and buy my cigarettes in NH by the carton (30.00 cheaper) and the most recent one I purchased the same thing is happening.

Either the head will fall off or more often than not, it looks like it's out but will reignite it just burns differently. It seems more like internally and the paper outside stops burning until you start smoking again and then the outside will burn as well. States made them do it for safety regulations.

And for the rest of you, preach to someone that gives a ****. Nobody asked for your opinion, they asked a question and was hoping for an answer, not a wise *** remark from a holier than though non-smoker.

Answer 2

This is the new safety paper that the tobacco companies are using. It's made to go out exactly as your explained. While the tabacco company's are not trying to tell you to quit (despite what some of the other responders say), it is a good idea to quit.

Answer 3

Hmmm well from experience you have to take more than one drag from a smoke to keep it burning. After 3 or 4 they generally stay lit. It may be the kind you are smoking. Camel smokes don't generally go out after they are lit.

Answer 4

Hey i was going to tell you but ''chase576'' beat me to it. I don`t like the new paper either.

Answer 5

I am a smoker also, you must be living in CA, It makes you cough, right?

Answer 6

Take the hint and give them up. Smoking is bad for you.

Answer 7

no there reaching out trying to tell you to quit they figure if they stop burning you stop lighting them!!!!
