These FSC cigarettes are garbage. I can no longer enjoy any of your lousy cigarettes. Phillip Morris and all other cigarette makers no damn well that these cigarettes were made only for the sole purpose of forcing smokers to quit. They are NOT more fire safe...they are less fire safe, due to the fact that the ashes get heavy and fall off the cigarette every time the lit portion reaches one of those disgusting POISONOUS bands of EVA and burns black, and if you relight it, sparks fly everywhere. EVA is not even supposed to be inhaled or burned and no studies have been conducted at all on what health effects it can have on people when burned and inhaled. Over 17, 000 smokers(currently) have signed a petition against these lousy cigarettes and have complained of increased coughing, soar throat, horrible metallic taste that stays in the mouth and throat long after you finish one of these lousy cigarettes, bronchitis, tightening in the chest and throat, nausea, and even vomiting and other more serious symptoms. THESE FSC(aka fire standard compliant) cigarettes MUST BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET. I AM NOT PAYING TWICE AS MUCH MONEY FOR A CIGARETTE I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY. None of the cigarettes i have smoked for over 15 years taste any good anymore, ESPECIALLY non-mentho cigarettes such as Marlboro Reds...they don't even taste like cigarettes anymore, they taste like lighting and burning copper or metal. I have actual pages from the MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS WHICH PROVE THE DANGERS OF PUTTING A CHEMICAL SUCH AS ETHYLENE VINYL ACETATE INTO A CIGARETTE. Whoever reads this, please go to my myspace page and check my myspace group out "Burn down fire safe cigarettes". ALL true and pertinent information about these faulty products can be found on my page, as well as the petition. I have a copy of the pages from the MSDS which show the dangers of these FSC cigarettes. This is all a big conspiracy that every state and tobacco company is just simply going along with without even giving the issue a second thought. These cigarettes MUST be made illegal and the fact that tobacco companies are now poisoning all cigarettes needs to be brought out into the open. IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE ABOUT THESE FSC CIGARETTES WITHIN A MONTH, I AM CALLING MY LOCAL NEWS STATION AND PUBLICLY INFORMING PEOPLE OF THE DANGERS AND TO TELL PEOPLE TO STOP BUYING THESE CIGARETTES. I am also going to be going to a doctor so that I can get a doctor to help me prove that my increased health problems are related to these new cigarettes, so that I can attempt to begin a lawsuit, against Phillip Morris and/or whoever makes Newports, as well as the people behind the "Coalition for fire safe cigarettes". I have already tried to call several lawyers but they need proof that there is something wrong with me before I can start sueing or pressing charges...AND I WILL GET IT EVENTUALLY..or someone else will. People are getting sick from them and nothing is being done about it. Please check these links for more details...and this better post!

One way or another, I am going to get this information out there so that if I am unable, at least SOMEONE with enough power can do something about this extremely dangerous situation...hopefully before 17, 000 smokers die or get some sort of lung disease all because of inhaling a chemical that has no business being put into a cigarette and inhaled!
