Fire Safe Cigarettes: Chemical Added To Traditional Cigarettes84

The Fire Safe Cigarette
This new chemical added to your traditional cigarette is supposed to serve a purpose. The reason for it being that it should reduce the amounts of fires started by traditional cigarettes. The new "fire safe" cigarette will self extinguish if it has not be used for 30 to 35 seconds.
On the upside, this is supposed to reduce the amount of fires that are caused by unattended cigarettes.
The fire safe cigarette chemical, ethylene vinyl acetate has been added to all cigarettes in packs that have the FSC lettering on the side or bottom of the pack. Ethylene vinyl acetate is added in rings to the cigarette paper. When the smoker is not inhaling and the lit part of the cigarette gets to the chemical ring, it will self extinguish.
