Intro: I began coughing about a week after the great cigarette switch. I thought I had lung cancer until I started talking to other smokers, and then talking to owners of cigarette stores. 100% of smokers I talked to are experiencing the same problems I am. Young or old, they all have the same chronic cough that just doesn't seem to go away.
I want to know what is in the new paper that is causing this reaction in so many people in the 21 states where fire safe cigarettes are now sold? What isn't the government telling us about these new cigarettes that we need to know?
. . .
Smokers were always told not to re-light a cigarette once it's gone out completely because the chemicals are much harsher than they were when you first lit your cigarette. Now, the government is telling us that if you're cigarette goes out it's okay to light it back up and keep smoking? Something is rotten, and I intend to find out what it is.
Now, before you get into your email and start writing me letters saying this has nothing to do with the LGBT Community, I just want to tell you, that many people in the LGBT Community are smokers and I'm sure they have the same questions I am having about fire safe cigarettes. . . .
Also, if you are one of the many people experiencing illness after smoking the new fire safe cigarettes please share your story with our readers by emailing the address above.
