The Coalition for Fire-Safe Cigarettes comprises fire service members, consumer and disability rights advocates, medical and public health practitioners, and others who are committted to saving lives and preventing injuries by reducing the threat of cigarette-ignited fires. The Coalition is coordinated by NFPA.
Fire-safe cigarettes have a reduced propensity to burn when left unattended. The most common fire-safe technology used by cigarette manufacturers is to wrap cigarettes with two or three thin bands of less-porous paper that act as "speed bumps" to slow down a burning cigarette. If a fire-safe cigarette is left unattended, the burning tobacco will reach one of these speed bumps and self-extinguish. Learn more about this technology.

Hello,
Did I hear right? Tobacco companies are trying to make a cigarette that goes out? Instead of putting more chemicals in the paper,Why can't they take out the chemicals that make the thing burn to start with.
Roll your own cigarettes go out when you don't puff em.
I stopped smoking June 8th @2;30pm
