Not only are we banned from smoking anywhere, but even more toxic chemicals are being added to cigarettes:

I agree! It's nice to see someone who is apparently a non-smoker (Ms. "Crispy") defend the rights of smokers!

Moreover, the link to the Petition Page against fire-safe cigs - FINALLY got me to sign!

The picture with the FSC bar code may not apply in your area.
In California the GPC brand has FSC with a separate non-bar code number stamped elsewhere on the bottom of the pack, so it's the "FSC" letters that you want to look for on the pack or carton.

As for the headaches and nausea from these cigs, I think it's the extra carbon monoxide level that they produce. I don't get that from the non-FSC versions, and the tendency of good leaf tobacco is to produce carbon dioxide, not carbon monoxide. The monoxide comes from papers and stems, not leaves.
