Rep. Rosenbaum on the need for fire-safe cigarettes

[zombolla]

This is what these fuckin idiots in the halls of power sit around and come up with, cigaretts that go out.

[netando]

WOW, I thought a friend of mine in the U.S. was pulling my leg about this! So they're saving lives by adding more chemicals to cigarettes? Bullshit, where's her little red helmet!

[P1eski]

"Save lives" LOL. Not the ones getting poisoned by these additives huh...

[Revanchist12]

"Rep. Rosenbaum on the need to shut the fuck up"

[iloveuTJ]

haha look at the guy behind her, he doesnt seem to give a shit about what she has to say, fuck you stupid bitch, go rot in hell, fuck fsc cigs.

[BeaMeUpMrScott]

3:22 "pipes, cigars, and had rolled cigarettes go out if they are not being smoked" it's because they dont contain added accelerants to keep them burning. Why didn't they outlaw the addition of these accelerants instead of making a law that adds more toxic substances to our cigs?

3:27 "once it is lighted" Communication is futile.

3:36 "using a special paper" Whats so special about the paper? Is it paper that got to ride to school on the short bus? She never even mentions ethylene vinyl acetate.

[battsphinx]

"Originally called fire safe cigarettes now called in the bill Reduced Ignition Propensity" RIP?!? Are you mocking us now you fucken bitch?

[atmdaddy]

Smoking in bed? What about cooking grease fires, furnaces, electrical, arson, etc.. where are those facts and statistics. What mental midgets! They burn irregularly and unpredictable. Sometimes they go out, and sometimes you end up with a long red hot cherry waiting to fall off. Fruitcakes! Commie wierdos.

#1 what she dont tell you is , most people get out of a burning house unless the "smoke" gets them first . this is the reason for smoke detectors .shes worried more about that old couch burnining and the insurance lobbiest dollars going up in smoke. more than about peoples lives, As more people will now die to smoke than  ever before ! "get it" they can still have the death rate without the $ fire .

[solvssod]

#2Because its carpet glue in the FSC cigs. illreversable damage to you and your loved ones that do smoke. remember who did this to them. And If I cant quit , smoking FSC . then before I die, I'll just , burn down my house anyway. that will fix them . lol thier killing us. run

[babsbat]

why dont enforce the speeding laws you devil; way more&more people are killed in car wrecks from speeding you ingnore it your worthless & im being dam nice you would not want to see me

[babsbat]

were going to file a law suit againts you evil garbage these FSC cigs are more dangerous the fire falls off these FSC cigs did you know that you bitch

[redpaul79]

letting women into congress was the dumbest thing ever--

[TelegramSam59]

She is lying. Cigarettes are NOT the leading cause of house fires.This dumb@ss needs to focus on more important issues like looking a little less like Ben Franklin.

[trudeau102000]

Well it looks like they did something. Even though they didn't. Thats's all that matters right.

[RChurchich]

She sounds retarded, if not retarded, she has no idea what the hell shes talking about.

[KaiserSousey]

Fuck you Diane Rosenbaum

[20CiviC02Si]

Welcome to the dark side of our Democratic "Socialist" party..... However we all have the power to quit smoking, so that helps them sleep at night. I'm starting to open my eyes and see these self-righteous people killing us off one by one. Wait until they get their hands on the health care program. You think this is bad! Wait until you're stricken with lung cancer from these cigarettes, and the government health program will only offer you euthanasia as the cure!

[SgtTravisBickle]

Yay! Another "Stop me from being stupid" law! I roll my own now using natural papers and tobacco. Thanks for the swollen glands, FSC.

[USFORCES68]

Funny thing is states depend so much on cigarette taxes that they have screwed themselves, Since FSC came to IL a lot of people have quit or are getting them elsewhere\online,so what do they do they raise the taxes I'd say around $2.00 since FSC started, they just went up $1 couple months back and they are going to keep doing this to make up for the money they have lost, I wouldn't be supprised if they are $8-$10 a pack here in the next year or two.

Candles cause 10x more fires a year,BAN them!

[shotgunwalter]

and by the way...your guise of caring so much for the people wouldn't have insurance companies hovering up there with your halo would it??

[shotgunwalter]

you cant save the world, and if we want to smoke. it is NONE of your buisness....and by the way Rosembaum, we need to mandate the food you are eating, because studies show being overweight leads to many health issues which can kill you. SO SAVE YOURSELF what a waste of tax payers dollars....

[getfiddle2007]

Yeah keep fuc&in with us you idiots in politics, and then when all the masses are educated (BOOM)!

[location224]

Let me guess......a Democrat!

[howapel]

I'd like to say that no Republican would do this shit, but there had to be some Republican support in these states. Her "special paper" is really vinyl chemical, so put that vinyl in your cigarette and smoke it.

[ekimjensen]

class action lawsuits need to be filed for this, many new health issues related to the fsc, nonsmokers are even affected by the more dangerous vapors givin off by these toxic new cigs that have more acute or immediate negative effects than the non fsc brands, i think sadaam husaan helped come up with this idea of testing chemicals on humans.

[marciawoo]

The nanny state hard at work. It is evil because in the end no one is immune.

[1sweetdancer]

These weren't supposed to be in my state until August, but R.J. Reynolds decided to make ALL their cigarettes this way so I accidently got some of these. I quit, but I can NOT believe the underhanded methods employed by our government and the tobacco companies regarding these things. NO warning it was coming, NOTHING. This it's funny? Wait until the government comes for YOUR favorite things. Candy, wine, who knows what will be next? Don't worry though, it's for YOUR OWN GOOD.

[lostnfound08]

These damn cigarettes make it hard as hell to smoke while driving. They go out every stoplight and I have to relight the damned thing. Not to mention the awful taste. Anyone find it ironic that Reduced Ignition Propensity Cigarettes are abreviated to RIP Cigarettes? I think theyre not telling us something

[billeebo]

wtf you cunt bitch! i gotta steam the shit out of every one of my cigarettes to keep it lit. now im gonna burn your house down

[lsmatrix]

@billeebo LMAO

[toob247]

Well let's see here on this Name Brand Menthol here in delaware if you gently heat the whole cig down the lenght with flame U can see 5 double thick paper bands. FSC websites make it sound like the harmless extra thick paper alone helps extinguish it , however the extra paper is just there to hold enough Fire-retardant. I believe it will be accelerated death sold to the people as a life saver. (We're not Occupiers... we're Liberators)

[PursuitOfReality]

My cousin came down from CT to VA with these shitty cigarettes forced on the markets over there. They taste like ass and there something in them they are not telling us I think. Wish these bastards would stop fucking with the market. This shit better not come down to VA.

[PursuitOfReality]

I accidentally took one out of his pack, because we both smoke the same brand.

[gsschauble]

Sure, just kill off all the smokers by adding crap to their cigarettes, and I'll bet this will do little or nothing to prevent fires. Also I don't believe you that only the paper is changed, the tobacco also has things in it to comply with this Hitlerian legislation. If you had changes in laws to dictate your food,

drink,habbits and ways, you would not like it very much.You can't show me job lay offs at fire stations, but read comments of multitudes of sick smokers ,caused by this!

[Dawgfather187]

FUCK YOU you stupid cunt!

[jerzeekitten]

I agree -- THIS IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS - The ciggs taste like SHIT!!!!!!!!! and now because idiots cant put out their ciggs the RIGHT WAY we have to suffer.

[squimball]

What are they going to do next??? Ban christmas trees in your house? You don't know how much this issue pisses me off!

[squimball]

If you can't put out a god damn cigarette, then you shouldn't be smoking. Fucking dumbasses screw it up for the rest of us! I don't know about you, but these new cigarettes are fucking disgusting! I can't get through one without at least gagging once.

[kjssky]

These cigarettes taste terrible, they also leave a burning taste in my mouth. They will cause more smokers to get sick. This is a very bad idea.You probability don't smoke.Another politician taking away a little more of america's freedom.
