TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Smokers in 12 states will be lighting -- and relighting -- fire-safe cigarettes designed to go out when they're not puffed as the result of new laws that go into effect Friday.
The states are among the last to require that all cigarettes meet standards first implemented by New York six years ago. The states with laws going on the books this week are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

1 30ML JC original flavored bottle for twenty bucks.
That should last you for about a month, then just order more juice. Compare this $110 with the price of cigarettes, the savings is great. The initial startup costs are kinda high, but after that it’s just a matter of upkeep of your supplies.
I bet BIC was behind this~~~wink
I have the janty stick and also use the Johnson creek juice. As soon as I get a back up e-cig, I’m stopping all tobacco.
I showed it to my supervisor and plant manager so there would be no problems if they saw rings of water vapor coming from me. My supervisor ended up getting one to.
Its not exactly like a real cig. takes a little getting used to. I have cut my smoking in half.
Thank you for the info. So many web sites on this, I appreciate knowing which one to check out.
I use my ecig all the time everywhere I go -even at work in the offices. Never a complaint.
I never even expected to quit smoking in the first place. I got it as a backup in case my tobacco seeds wouldn’t sprout. I was going to grow my own tobacco after Obama passed the SCHIP bill. After the first puff, I never went back (Read my tagline).
My last cigarette was May 23rd. After 30 years of smoking.
You are forced to keep dragging on the cigarette regularly, or it goes out in the ashtray.
I think it was part of the effort to stop the dreaded "Global Warming Caused By Humans" stuff; same as stopping cow farts.
The cigarettes now start tasting like cow farts with the FSC-process, but they're still smokeable....
I make the rules in my shop; and the rule is you can smoke while you work. But never in front of a customer, and no butt's on the floor.
My own rules forced me to become a re-lighter. A common practice with me for years now. These new cigs don't go out when you want them to; I've seen several times when after one of two puffs I had to dose the smoke, then came back to it after 1 - 5 minutes. Still going! Someone who still has access to both 'fsc' and non-fsc check me on this.
And of course they do go out sometimes when you don't want, just for the annoyance factor I think. But they often produce a surprising flame up when re-lit.
I don't even want to think about how long I've been smoking. A couple days ago I ordered one of these e-cigarettes and I hoping to cut back and quit soon.
All RJ Reynolds, and Phillip Morris Cigarettes are now FSC. They no longer manufacture any with the old non fsc paper. IIRC, unless you can find some old cartons, there are only about three brands in the US that still make non FSC.
I have had the stupid FSC ones Cherry bomb on me while driving & burned holes in my clothes. The non FSC's never did that. And I've heard of one Freeper who dumped an ashtray about fifteen minutes after he had finished an FSC cigarette. Apparently, there was still a live ash in there, and it set his trash can on fire.
