Another kick in the chops against smokers

i have been buyingthem for months like that. didn't find out for awhile what was going on. they just do us smokers anyway they want seems to me. it's a crock!!!

I guess that they are trying to discourage all of you to quit any way that they can. My husband quit this past summer and he feels better. He smoked for over 40 years and would complain about such things, too. Now our insurance rates will go down, after a bit, our house insurance rates have gone down, he is putting the money in the bank and we get to use it to travel and buy things that we could not afford before. I know it is a choice but I have seen many beloved people suffer horribly from what smoking did to them and it was not pretty. So, even though it may be a hassle, I am hoping that more people become disgusted enough to quit, so they may live a long and healthy life with their loved ones. :D

I'm a non-smoker. I think they are getting a little out of hand when it comes to those that smoke. If I don't want to be around smoking I walk away I mean hello that's why we have feet. My husband smokes he goes outside when at home. If we go out we sometimes sit in the smoking section not all the time just once in awhile. If I don't want to sit in a smoking section then I don't pick a place that has smoking in it. My husband is trying to quick but that is his choice just like smoking is his choice. As for the fire safe cigs thats a bit much and I haven't heard that hear yet. Can always start rolling your own or fnd a friend in another state that will ship you some if you send the money.......lol

I think the govts. are taking such actions to curb down smoking instead of banning it altogether. I do think that smoking is hazardous to health

i WAS going to express surprise and then question where you live. then i looked at your profile and your in ARIZONA like I am!! ive not heard anything at all about this law! nor anything about voting for some kind of smoking related thing in the elections. when did they do this? huh..we already pay out the a$$ for cigs if we buy them in the country..which i dont like but can deal with. making them taste funky is another thing altogether though. if we are going to pay almost $5 a PACK then they sure as hell better taste they way they are supposed to! grrr..another reason why i will continue to go over the border for my cigs! cheaper (by far!) taste the way they are supposed to (if a bit harsher) but at least i wont be having to re-light the damn things every drag!

LOL!! I am a nonsmoker Bunny; so I don't feel any wave of sympathy...am sorry. I have had so many people choking me with their smoke in public places that I will be happy if smoking in public, at least, where there are kids around would be banned. Cheers and happy Mylotting

Blimey I've heard it all now! I'm a smoker and live in the UK. I'm sure it won't be long before we get the same treatment. I must say though smoking aluminium doesn't sound very good! They go on about us poisoning our bodies smoking and now they go and put aluminium in them?? Madness!

Where I live...they passed it last year. It was bad at first because the cigs really do taste different and they really do go out if you don't constantly huff on them. It all wore off and altho they have the code on them stating that they are fire proof...they really are not. I have tested them and left them burning in the ashtray just to see....most of them do not go out even tho they say they are fire safety. Suddenly the cigs taste the same again. The smokers are not going to complain and the non-smokers really won't know the difference, will they? Just bear with the change and pacify them. The non-smokers will feel they have done something positive for themselves and the world around them.

As an experienced smoker of a variety of brands (basically whatever is on sale) I have noticed that Basics tend to go out faster and they sprak when relite. So they are not as safe as they are reporting. I have burned myself a few times due to this so I don't buy them as much. I noticed the cheaper brands are better like the generics in general. I also notice you have to inhale harder...which makes me think this cannot be any better health wise, but then again what would the nons think because they think we pollute everything and we are the causes for pollution LOL Never mind their cars they drive or the non recyclable products the use, etc. One poster pointed out how much revenue smokers bring to the state of IL and according to his reports IL citizens who smoke produce approximately $42 every second to their state's revenue. So really they should back off with all the economical issues everyone has in general. Smoker's pay for their rights to smoke, they pay for others healthcare, they pay for everything the same as nons. And if the nons don't like it don't go to that bar/restaurant. Just like a smoker will steer clear of non smoking situations if they want to. It's called EO to all, not just those who think they have a right to boss others around. And they need to watch out (the nons I am speaking to) Now the government is gettting involved with the controlling of fat grams and other things that may affect them. This is what happens when we judge others based on their choices....ignorance.

ok thats stupid.. well at least you told me what makes them fire safe lol.. because i was wondering how the hell you make some thing that burns fire safe.. anyways that will be annoying because you would have to relight every two seconds!! then thats using more lighter fuel, then more disposable lighters will be thrown in the trash and then there are wasting matches etc.. do they cost more??

Man that is a new one to me. I am in Canada and have never even heard of these types of smokes. I am not quite sure why all of these non smokers are doing this. I can think of many other things that they could spend their time doing to help the world out. I just want them to leave us alone and give us our rights back. They are simply taking all of our rights away is all they are doing.

i smoke in a private place.....and smoke occasionally!...

Wow I can't say that I have hear this before. I have to say that I am happy to live in Canada, I guess that just means that you guys have to smoke fast,LOL. Sory but I just don't know what to say to that.

OK. Just take it easy. Maybe it is the time to get rid of the smoking. I guess you do know that smoking does harm to your health. Why not try other things? To get some sports exercices, or some sort of that. I am sure these will do you good.

OMG What is next? I live in canada and have not heard about this fs cig. Non smokers need to leave us alone once and for all. until they live a day in our shoes they can just bud out.from the counds of those smokes it is more of a quitting method.

I bunnybon7, Why don't they go the whole and ban it? no they won't do that because they aare making money us smokers but I don't think it will really take on somehow, well hope not. Tamara
