You guys have balls of steel. I did not expect you to actually publish an article which condoned smoking, even indirectly. It was a very honest article though, so well done for having the courage to print it.
Fire Safe Cigarettes and the Genocide Against Smokers

It is near sacrilege for a health publication (or any other type of publication for that matter) to publish an article that is in any way friendly or helpful to smokers nowadays. Brace yourself, for you are about to read such a sacrilege.
Let us preface by noting that it is important to remember that smokers are hellishly evil creatures, for they savagely murder our innocent children with their second-hand death gas. We, as a collective society, have come to view anything tobacco-related as evil, and its perpetrators as needing to be stoned (in the biblical sense). Because of the almost religious anti-tobacco dogma nowadays, what follows might be a bit difficult to believe.
The first smokers were the American Indians ("Native Americans" for the politically correct). They also gave us marijuana, which was a favorite treat inside their 'peace pipes', by the way. For hundreds, if not thousands of years, these Indians frequently smoked unfiltered and organic tobacco, which was 10-20 times stronger than any cigarette sold now. Can you guess the health effect? The Indians did not get lung cancer ― ever. In fact, they suffered from no major diseases whatsoever. They did not even suffer from allergies, despite having lived outdoors constantly. It is similar to the situation with the modern-day Amish, which we recently reported about. It wasn't until the English and the Europeans began importing the European diet, long-term food storage, and the overall European lifestyle that diseases appeared in Indian tribes. The Old World diseases came to them with an ugly vengeance. Entire tribes were sometimes wiped-out in days, because the poor Indians had never needed to develop an immunity against disease.
No Indian was ever killed by tobacco before modern cigarettes, but this modern killer-tobacco is not the same tobacco that was smoked by their forefathers around their camp fires. There still have been no deaths attributed to marijuana, ever. If marijuana were regulated and 'enhanced' by the same chemical industry partners and governmental regulators that manage our cigarettes, foods, and drugs, then marijuana would be made equally deadly and "cancerous". You could count on it happening. Big Pharma would not tolerate safe marijuana anymore than it tolerates safe cigarettes, especially in lieu of marijuana's potent medicinal qualities.
Like our foods, and our medicines, modern tobacco is 'enhanced' (poisoned) by the chemical industry, and now our foods, medicines, and even our tobaccos comprise an unholy trinity of death and destruction. In modern cigarette smoke, the chemical compounds in an average cigarette outnumber the tobacco compounds over 100-to-1. Every one of these intentionally added chemicals is toxic, and most are carcinogenic. So, there is some truth to the belief that most (if not all) tobacco companies are evil, because what they do to their own customers is truly evil. Absolutely none of it is necessary. We are frankly baffled at the insanity of it all. We could write dozens of pages citing these deadly chemical cocktails, but we figure that our readers would prefer to be spared. Cigarettes, like medicines and foods, do not need to be poisoned, but all of these tend to be quite toxic in this era, thanks to "improvements" by the chemical industry.
The New Dark Secret Of The Tobacco Industry And Your State Government ― "Fire Safe Cigarettes"
It is getting much worse for smokers. By January of 2010, in 49 out of the 50 United States, a new and much worse poison is being required by law to be added to all cigarettes. I wish we were kidding about this, but honestly, the new state laws are requiring that cigarette manufacturers poison smokers with something worse than we have seen before, like a state-mandated genocide against smokers. Please have the compassion to help us get the message out, even if you personally despise smoking and smokers. It is the right thing to do, and deep down, you know that it really is.
The new cigarettes contain a trace amount of ethylene/vinyl acetate, copolymer emulsion in water, which is literally 'carpet glue'. It is known to cause tumors in mice, but inhalation of its smoke has never been tested on humans, of course. The Material Safety Data Sheet (M.S.D.S.) for this substance notes that it produces toxic fumes when exposed to fire. These new "fire safe" cigarettes are made with 3 layers of paper, which requires triple the glues of past cigarettes. They contain what are referred to as 'speed bumps' (made from carpet glue) all the way down the shaft. These are designed to reduce oxygen flow, so that the cigarette will quickly extinguish if nobody is inhaling it. In fact, this often puts the cigarette out too early, causing the smoker to re-ignite several times throughout a cigarette. This is particularly ironic, because the ignition is the most dangerous part of smoking, in terms of fire safety and carcinogenic toxins. In addition, it forces the smoker to puff more deeply, and more frequently than they otherwise would, while smoking a considerably more toxic cigarette. We call this deadly by design.
Activists have been campaigning for decades to get tobacco companies to remove other substances that are toxic when smoked, such as citrates, phosphates and calcium carbonate; which are all added to ensure that cigarettes do not self-extinguish. Of course, instead of just removing these substances, tobacco companies instead decided to add carpet glue. Their logic for appeasing law-makers is flawed at best. Indeed, all of the newspaper articles which blame the victims for cigarette-induced fires with headlines like "House Burned Down by Reckless Cigarette Use" neglect to mention the fact that cigarettes contain burn accelerators, which should rightly place the blame on the manufacturer of the cigarettes. These fire-accelerating chemicals incredibly remain inside the "fire safe cigarettes". It is a similar situation to the one we have seen with the pharmaceutical industry, in which new chemicals are needed to eliminate the side-effects of the chemicals that they gave us originally, and they are laughing all the way to the bank.
The Politics Of Tobacco Genocide
No studies have ever been done on cigarettes containing pure, organic tobacco, because such a test might actually prove it to be fairly safe in moderation. Such a scientific finding would not be a politically correct one. It would be on-par with questioning Darwinism, and it would probably destroy some careers. True science, however, does not fear investigation. We have no doubt that the chemical sticks, which are nowadays called "cigarettes", are much more harmful than pure tobacco, or marijuana. However, animal rights activists shriek at the very prospect of doing such a study on animals (even more political correctness), so instead the smokers are being used as guinea pigs, and they are never given informed consent. Smokers are still less than human, after all. Right?
Despite all of the campaigns that have been led by politicians who talk about how they are "getting tough" on Big Tobacco, no labeling is yet required for the additives that are placed into cigarettes. Smokers have no idea that literally hundreds of chemical compounds are added to most cigarettes. Even fewer have been told that they are now legally required to smoke carpet glue whenever they smoke.
A study by the Harvard School of Health revealed that tar, carbon monoxide, and naphthalene levels were higher in the new fire safe cigarettes. In fact, according to their study, every chemical, except nicotine, was higher in fire-safe cigarettes, encouraging smokers to inhale the toxins more deeply. Despite these alarming results, the study was actually biased toward the fire-safe cigarettes. We can empathize with their good intentions, but what happens when the 'cure' is many times worse than the 'disease'? Is it really wise to proceed in such a case; and if the goals are so innocent, then why have these 'improved' cigarettes never been reported to the public? Why the media black-out?
Naphthalene is an insecticide and a bi-product of the coal tar industry. It is also a core part of the new "safe" cigarettes. Exposure to high amounts of naphthalene can result in irreversible damage to the eyes and liver, according to the E.P.A.. It is also a possible carcinogen, particularly through inhalation exposure. Symptoms of acute exposure include headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malaise, confusion, anemia, jaundice, convulsions, and coma. It can also cause neurological effects in infants. From these things, we can definitively conclude that non-safe cigarettes are safer than their fire-safe counterparts. However, these are the effects of just one chemical. An investigation into the effects of every chemical found in modern cigarettes would require a book to cover.
If all of this were not enough, these "fire safe cigarettes" are not really fire safe. In one final move to alleviate themselves from any sort of liability, cigarette companies admit on their websites that "no cigarette is fire safe". The legislation was supposedly enacted for the purpose of stopping fires, but the very initials that are found on these cigarette packets (FSC) promote a false sense of security that is prone to actually causing more fires. While cigarette companies are marketing the "fire safe" feature, you may not necessarily be able to sue them if their cigarettes cause a fire. Even with the existence of their chemical burn accelerators, their lawyers will predictably contend that the addition of carpet glue was a good faith effort to ensure "safety", and therefore fires will still be blamed on smokers.
Prologue
Legislation mandating the sale of only fire-safe cigarettes went into effect on January 1st, 2010 in several states, including our home state of North Carolina. We are already hearing about many of the health issues that are being caused by these cigarettes, which seem to mimic the symptoms of naphthalene exposure. All fire safe cigarettes must be labeled on the box. Usually around the bar code, the letters 'FSC' mean "Fire Safety Compliant". Retailers who still have non-fire safe cigarettes will not be able to purchase more when they run out.
Some smokers choose American Spirits' "organic" cigarettes, but please be aware that these are also "fire safe" (poisoned). This brand does contain organic tobacco, but the paper is far from organic. This deceptive labeling was obviously an intentional attempt to deceive customers who are trying to choose a healthier alternative, and therefore we recommend that this company be avoided for ethical reasons. The only way for customers in most states to avoid fire safe cigarettes is for them to roll their own, purchase them online from foreign countries, and to assist groups like Citizens Against Fire Safe Cigarettes (CAFSC).

Dear Mark,
The article did not "condone" cigarette smoking, but merely gave an accurate unbiased report of the facts. My grandfather smoked a pipe and lived to be 100 years old. That tells me it may even be good for us! Still I would not recommend it to anyone. Anymore than I would recommend someone drink coffee or eat ice cream! Our battle is to stop the coporations and governments from ruining everything on this planet. God gave us free will and choice, but we have allowed "demons" to take over the world in the form of chemical corporations and political cronies!

I totally agree with your article. I have smoked since I was 11 years old and am now 50. For the past year - and 3 mnths before I knew what had happened - I started having fits of coughing and -for the first time in my life- I have pain moving through my body. It started at my neck. My arms are suffering from nerve type pain issues. I am a dance and Yoga instructor. I love vegetarian food, fitness, meditation, doing good - and yes I am an evil smoker! I am rolling my own!Please contact me if you need my voice.

Can anyone suggest where to buy the tobacco/accessories to roll cigarettes? I have to add that the "fire safe" cigarettes are harder to put out than before and... once, after making what I thought was a thorough snuffing out and double-checking, the cigarette caught fire in ash can outside. Fortunately I saw the smoke billowing and dowsed it. I feel safer now! Not.

Do a Google search for tobacco stores nearby. There's usually at least one. If there aren't any near you, then you will have to purchase online.
Unfortunately, Paypal (and Ebay) refuse to sell tobacco products because they don't want to deal with the ridiculous legislation issues and state-by-state taxation. So, finding a site that you can trust online can be difficult. Unfortunately, we can't really recommend any particular site for that.

I rolled my own for awhile until I found out about a new Organic cigarette called; "Natural American Spirit, made with organic tobacco".
This is not an advertisement. They are the cigarettes that I smoke and wanted to share the info with my fellow smokers. I tried rolling my own for awhile but it began to take up to much of my time. I was glad I found these and I will never switch. Just google and search for them in your location. They are a little more expensive then the poison cigarettes but well worth it. I find myself smoking less with less nicotine fits because there is no chemical added addictive garbage in them. Best of luck to all.
P.S. They taste kinda like a light Marlboro. There are two different organic types. The Gold box is what I smoke which is like a light Malboro. And then there is a more full bodied flavor that my guy likes which is in a dark red box. Again, best of luck.

Be aware that even the American Spirit cigarettes are made with "Fire Safe" paper. You can, however, get the organic tobacco from that company to roll with.

2011-03-18 06:28:44 |IP:75.180.235.xxx| smoker - fire safe is only about revenue
I have been smoking for many years. Until a few months ago i was able to get non fire safe cigarettes .
Since having to buy fire safe cigarettes I have noticed pains in my legs , very poor circulation
higher blood pressure .The fsc cigarette burns up 3 times as fast a cigarette used to take about 5 mins to smoke and now a Marlboro fsc is smoked and gone in under a minute. I did not notice this at first but it seems the fsc smokes are 5 times more addictive. I noticed that i was smoking 3 times the normal amount .
I believe the government made the companies spend lots of money making them fire safe . so the companies may have complied the lowered the nicotine level and added more garbage to them causing us to smoke much more. my health has never been so weird .
I am not saying smoking was ever good for anyone because really there is nothing good about it but i know my smokes and I know they are way different now . they may not be able to light a bed on fire but the garbage your inhaling is much worse than ever . And is happening much more than ever before to try to maintain the level of nicotine your body was used to getting. When i noticed i was smoking 8 or 9 in the first to hours of waking up I knew it has become a problem . I have worked really hard to get down to 3 to 4 a day . I plan on totally quitting soon today I am moving to 2 or 3 and will fight the urges until i am at 1 every other day and then down to zero.
The plan had nothing to do with fire safety . lets make the cigarettes worse . In the process they will smoke more and we can collect more taxes .
It has not been easy for me to slow down the smoking but i did . And eventually will smoke none. I wish I never started but i did.
There will be a time on television when you hear ' IF YOU OR A LOVED one HAVE Smoked FSC CIGARETTES Call James A law NOW ! you might be entitled to money damages
Cigarettes dont burn homes down , Lazy Slobs with cigarettes do .
Guns don't kill people, criminals with guns do
"The biggest killer in America is our government and their taxes" Dk .

Until you quit, you should roll your own cigarettes, to avoid the carpet glue. You can get additive-free tobacco that way, too. 5-HTP is known to help alleviate addictions. A minuscule amount of Salvia Divinorum can also help to stop the cravings. If you use too much, you'll be on a trip to another dimension, but a glass of ice water over the head will bring you right back.
Hypnosis can also be very powerful, particularly for the psychological aspect of addiction. You will benefit from reading over our depression article, because you will have mood issues, particularly with irritability and depression.You should also limit your carbohydrate intake, else you will put on weight rapidly when you quit smoking. We always encourage exercise, but you should have a very mild exercise program, because exercise makes nicotine withdrawal worse.
We intend on writing a detailed article about this topic, but for now, these tips should be helpful.

SMOKER'S, ARE FSC CIGARETTES MAKING YOU SICK? Jeffrey Wigand's agenda, post "The Insider", is working closely with the FDA who have full control over tobacco. When I asked him personally (recently)about all the FSC cigarette illnesses, he denied knowing anything about it. That's funny, two years earlier in an e-mail I sent him that HE responded to, he thanked me for bringing the FSC cigarette illnesses to his attention and that he would personally notify Dr. L a w r e n c e D e y t o n (HEAD LIAR @ FDA TOBACCO DIVISION). Wigand is a LIAR and is in bed with the FDA who are deliberately lacing cigarettes with new FSC chemicals to induce unorthodox illnesses to coerce smokers into quitting. Smokers in other countries are NOT experiencing this. WIGAND, the FDA and "Angel of Death" LAWRENCE DEYTON are EVIL NAZI bastards and should be convicted of crimes against American citizens. Kathleen Sebelius is also in on this. The needle is too good for these filthy scumbags.

The FDA is the organization that needs to be POUNDED with complaints. Calling OUT DR. Lawrence DEYTON is the key. It will take thousands of calls and emails these people do nothing unless it is huge they totally know about FSC but act as if they have only kind of heard of it they are lying the fda phone number is 877 287 1373 also politicians at the state and federal level must be held accountable for this evil shit

I would appreciate any feedback, if there is any, regarding physical/neurological symptoms after smoking FSC cigarettes.
I began smoking 2 years ago, just as the cigarette industry was making their shift to FSC cigarettes. I noted, for several months, that when I would smoke (usually the first cigarettes of the day) that my entire scalp would be overcome with a "flush" of tingles and that oftentimes, the muscles of the left side of my face would feel tightened and drawn upwards. Other times, my hands and arms would shake so hard that I could not control them well enough to dial a telephone. These effects lasted just minutes and eventually, dissipated entirely. However, I was also plagued by a rash on my arms and palms of my hands - oftentimes quite itchy - that I attributed to an allergic reaction to menthol.
I DO have a Latex allergy - which I eventually was told was part of the chemical make-up of FSC cigarettes.
Eventually, all of the symptoms mentioned dissipated. I smoked for 2 years and then quit. I developed a nasty "smoker's cough" almost from the outset and definitely noted an overall loss of energy.
The month I quit smoking, I was suddenly overcome with extreme fatigue, followed by simultaneous left leg and left arm weakness. It lasted about a week, then recurred one time each of the following two months. I had a BRAIN MRI to rule out MS and it shows a single, 15mm lesion on my brain - but is not yet indicative of "true" MS. The weeks following my MRI, I've been suffering from a cascade of food allergies. One of the foods I tested positive for is in the same family as tobacco...but now that we think about this, we are curious if this whole mess isn't totally related to FSC/tobacco allergy.
Any thoughts??

The bottom line is full and total exposure. Not one TV program has been aired on this subjuect. I've tried but no luck. I encourage ALL smokers to try and call or email guys like Bill O'Reilly, John Stossel, Greg Gutfeld. Yes, these guys are all conservatives on Fox. I believe that these people believe that YOU the smoker have the right to make your own decisions. Liberals on the other hand are the ones pointing their pious fingers at us. Someone that has a huge audience will at least put it out there. The internet is falling on deaf ears and the petition site mentioned above was closed. Probably by the government. Buying cigarettes from overseas is nearly impossible because of all the new laws that the FDA and Obama appointed CZAR Dr. Lawrence Deyton have over the internet. We are truly living in dangerous times. Our Civil Liberties are being stripped from us by a government that wants to take care of us little helpless children. I'm waiting for them to start outlawing certain sports because of the dangers of injury. Unfrigginbelievable.
