Cigarettes that put themselves out

Do you know that there will be something different about cigarette brands sold in NewYork from now. New York has become the first state to phase in a law requiring tobacco companies to sell the new fire-safe cigarettes. The law is meant to put down the number of smoking related fire accidents. These cigarettes will self-extinguish if they are not puffed regularly. At first I wondered why all this hype. But was amazed by looking at the facts that about 900 Americans die each year and another 2500 are hurt by fires started by cigarettes which are left unattended.

These cigarettes will have a special kind of ultra-thin banded paper which puts off the fire when they are not used. This proves that the technology is used to its fully for the welfare of the people in this country.
