Reply Report Abuse Judge it! #1 Jan 12, 2007 Just curious if anyone who smokes Marlboro cigarettes has noticed that they do not stay lit. Half way through a cigarette it will literally burn itself out. I have noticed this change in the last couple of months and am beginning to wonder if there has been a chemical change to the cigarettes to cause this. I am not the only one who has noticed this and I am curious as to how widespread this is and also if this is experienced lately with any other brands.
Any info would be great.

California as of Jan 2007 requires self extinguishing
cigarettes. I believe about 15 other states do now or have them on the law books.
It’s to prevent deaths from unattended cigs.
I found it adds kinda a funny sulphur soapy taste.
I just ordered from a state that has the old type. UGH

Reply Report Abuse Judge it! #4 Feb 4, 2007 Yeah, i noticed they taste much different now too. Actually, i think its makes me feel sick too(stomach nausia). Good reason to quit now. Who knows what kind of shit they put in them to make them stop burning. But whatever it is, i can sure taste it, and it sure does make me feel real strange. bunsmac

The new formula not only tastes funny, but it leaves my mouth and throat all nasty feeling (cotton mouth immediately after smoking). This is one quick way to make a non smoker out of me, as I feel like I am having an allergic reaction everytime I like up. Also they are giving me a headache. Who do we complain too about this??? bunsmac

I live in California and I smoke Saratoga and am having the same problem. Then a couple of my friends who smoke other brands noticed the same I am have to pay over forty dollars a carton for ciggretts that won’t stay lit and leave a bad taste in my mouth will force me to buy from another State who didn’t pass this stupid law. I guess after doing all the scare tactics imaginable now they have resorted to this! bunsmac

Reply Report Abuse Judge it! #12 Feb 16, 2007 Another Marlboro smoker here who noticed all the above I heard it was a Ca law to have the cigs extinquish to prevent more fires, burns, and other safety reasons. They definately taste different. Myself and friends, family who smoke them all have this horrible congested cough after smoking these lately in the last couple of months. I heard it was all cigs made by Phillip Morris. I would and am going to write to Phillip Morris about it and complain. After being a smoker of Marlboro for many years, I bought a “non” Phillip Morris generic brand today. I can’t stand the new defunked Marlboro’s any longer. I’m tired of the fire going out and the chemical taste they have. It makes me wonder what they added to them. I know cigs aren’t safe, but they don’t need to kill us smokers off any faster! Angela

It is nasty chemicals that “keep” them burning. Natural tobac and wrapper will not stay lit, for instance, Shermans, a decent cigar, pipe, etc. samuel messiha

Smoking easily kills even marlboro cowboys – english pravda.ru
This is when Wayne McLaren appeared on stage. It happened in 1964. He announced from TV screens that the filter would protect against all possible diseases, but did not alter the taste of cigarettes. McLaren appealed to viewers with a smug grin, “Welcome to Marlboro Country”.
It seems that he believed what he was saying on TV filter cigarettes are harmless. Two or three packs a day for McLaren was the norm. He learned about his health issues a few years before his death. He was diagnosed with nicotine lung cancer. He survived chemotherapy, radiation therapy, amputation of one lung, but it did not help.
In his later years he became a shining example of the consequences of smoking. In the two years before his death, Wayne McLaren became an active participant in the campaign against nicotine. Before his death, he managed to play a role in a video that has become super popular. In the video he stated that he regretted his destructive habit.
Wayne McLaren is believed to have initiated a large scale anti tobacco campaign around the world. The great promoter of smoking became a great advocate of a healthy lifestyle. This struggle continues, albeit with varying degrees of success.
In conclusion, there are a few numbers related to smoking. 90 percent of deaths from lung cancer, 75 percent of deaths from chronic bronchitis and 25 percent from coronary heart disease are due to smoking. Every ten seconds a heavy smoker dies on the planet (in 2020, this level could rise to one person every three seconds).
In Russia, at least one in ten women is a smoker, and among high school students 53 percent of boys and 28 percent of girls are smokers. 50 60 percent of Russian men can be called heavy smokers (among some categories this number reaches 95 percent). Smoking and diseases caused by them annually result in death of at least one million citizens of Russia.
According to sociologists, 12 percent of the respondents believe that quitting smoking is easy, 56 think that it is difficult, four percent believe that it is impossible, and 28 percent do not think about it. At the same time 21 percent of those surveyed tried to quit smoking, but mostly unsuccessfully. 47 percent of Russian citizens consider smoking a bad habit, 38 percent believe it to be an addiction, nine percent an incurable disease, and six percent of respondents were unable to determine their attitudes to smoking.
Smoking poses other threats in addition to health risks. According to statistics, a lit cigarette is one of the most common causes of household and industrial fires. It is no accident that a new anti fire measure was implemented in the European countries. The European Union imposed a strict ban on “long lasting” cigarettes. This means that all cigarettes sold in stores must be self extinguishing. This measure is designed to reduce the number of fires that occur due to unattended lit cigarettes.
Cigarette producers were mandated to use paper that is difficult to ignite. It is not yet clear what this measure brings, but the goal is a plausible one.
