it is what they leave out of them. I was a smoker for 45 years and they used additives which caused them to burn faster. They have stopped using additives to give people the impression that the cigarettes are now safer.

My dad used to tell me that until the 1950′s, cigarettes used to go out on their own if you didn’t keep smoking them. His claim was that the cigarette companies were putting some chemical in them to make them keep burning. Assuming his theory was correct, maybe they just stopped doing that, and are now advertising it as a new feature. This is just speculation, and I don’t know anything about the double wrapper, fire walls or spots.

Now Marlboro cigarettes will extinguish if left burning. They call them “fire-safe” and claim to double wrap the paper to make it less-porous. Then triple wrap sections called “speed bumps” which act as a firewall and will extinguish the cigarette if left burning. I examined a Marlboro cigarette under my black light and it clearly reveals spray spots on the cigarette and no evidence of double wrapped paper. Anyone know what it is?
