Reduced Cigarette Ignition Propensity

Reduced Cigarette Ignition Propensity describes cigarettes that demonstrate reduced ignition propensity in certain laboratory tests. PM USA supports federal legislation to set forth a uniform, national standard for reduced cigarette ignition propensity.


I think I got a pack of these things today. Pure. F'ucking. Genius. Now I have to suck down a cigamarette or it will go out long before I would have normally finished. I usually average ~5 mins per cigabutt, but I think that's been cut down to about 3 minutes now. Any smoker who isn't poor will tell you that you only smoke a smoke that's already been lit and extinguished if you have no other options. It just tastes funny.

Smokers are also good at lying to themselves.


Does the pixie dust escape if you let it extinguish?

Basicly, they're self extinguishing cigarettes. My brand (I smoke the Camel Red Lights) haven't switched over, but when stores don't have mine and I've gotten marlboro reds, I've noticed they have.

Cigarettes taste even worse when you light them a 2nd time. Bleh.

Dammit, I noticed something had happened to my Marlboro Lights. I can't walk 5 steps without having to re-light the fucking thing. It's been pissing me the hell off, feel like I'm babysitting every cigarette.

When they say "Banded cigarette paper" do they mean like the paper from the Camel numer 9 stuff. Other than those I have not noticed any difference. I smoke either Kools or Camel Lights.

Anything you don't roll yourself has always burned at an accelerated rate.

Personally, I've been rolling my own for years, so my habit puts itself out when I forget about it.

I only smoke about eight cigs a day.

I made it a week. Twice.

I feel I've given the bandwagon my symbolic try for the year.

You mean to tell me there are still people here who willingly and knowingly smoke in this day and age despite all the negatives associated with tobacco products? I thought you Lefties were an enlightened bunch.

Oh, we are. However, we get so concerned with the well being of the lower and middle classes that we need something to take the edge off, man!

A lot of the statistics supporting these "facts" are over-inflated.


If a person dies of, oh say, skin cancer, and that person happened to smoke or happened to be exposed to second-hand smoke (regardless of frequency), that cancer death is attributed to smoking automatically.


Furthermore, thanks to advances in medical and genetic research, many hazards of smoking are only attainable if you have a genetic predisposition to them. I'm not going as far to say that smoking is harmless, but I will say a lot of the statistics/research used to formulate laws concerning cigarettes is outdated. Probably intentionally left that way. It's too hard to argue with biologists and geneticists.

Even using the old statistics, any ****** with a basic understanding of statistics can tell you the numbers do not equate to causality.

You really shouldn't be kidding yourself saying they aren't that bad for you.

But either way, I won't tell you to stop, that's something only you can do.

They're about as bad for you as corn syrup. I can't blow cornrings, though, so there's that.

Wow, that sounded much gayer than I'd have thought.

I wasn't arguing if they were bad for you or not, I was arguing the validity of the data supporting much anti-tobacco legislation. Do you honestly believe anti-tobacco legislation is about getting Americans to quit smoking? No, it never was about that, it is about the Almighty dollar. Through the 60's-90's tobacco conglomerates fought anti-tobacco legislation to no avail. They lost on the account of artificially inflated data, and the political economy of mass media. This data was generated so the federal government, state governments, and to some extent municipal governments could justify over-taxing the products. And why did they say they needed to over-tax cigarettes?

To cover medical costs? Bullshit. That be the case, where is the universal health coverage? Why did tobacco lose so many law suits involving medical problems? No, it was never about that either, it was just a way to siphon power and money elsewhere leaving the tobacco industry up in smoke.
