Fire safety cigarettes are poison?
Q: I’ve been smoking 30 years. I live in Arizona where we just started getting Fire Safety Cigarettes. For three weeks I was constantly getting ill, and having never heard of fire safe cigs, had no idea why. I immediately noticed my cigs (Marlboro reds) kept going out, not in a few minutes, more like every 30 seconds, Very annoying. My dad a 50 year smoker called me one day to say his cigarettes, (Marlboro Light 100’s), kept going out, and tasted awful. So I e-mailed Phillip Morris asking “What’s going on”?. I googled, ‘Marlboros keep burning themselves out’. I was appalled at what I saw. Web sites, blogs, and forums abounded with smokers complaining about getting sick from smoking these FSC cigarettes. I couldn’t believe our government would force a product on its citizens that were making smokers across the country sick. Didn’t anyone bother too do some research on the health impact of these new ‘safer’ (not) cigarettes? I immediately went to my vendor, and after searching there inventory found and bought five cartons of regular not FSC cigarettes, (labeled above the bar code). Within two days of smoking regular Marlboro’s my illnesses subsided, and after a week I felt like my old self again. Now I will have to start buying them online from companies in North Carolina, a state that still offers regular cigarettes that don’t make me sick. After that I will buy them from Russia if I have too, or search out a black market, as I’m sure they will be popping up real soon. Fire prevention agencies claim it will save 700 to 1,000 lives per year. New York Department of State did a study in New York State, a state which has mandated FSC for four years now, and found that deaths did drop from 31 deaths to 22 deaths in 2004. Harvard School of medicine said that five compounds in the FSC cigarettes had increased in toxicity, but there was no evidence that these increases affect the already toxic nature of cigarette smoke. OH REALLY, then why am I finding smokers all over the internet complaining they’re getting sick? , I know they made me sick. Those entities that are pushing this garbage on us didn’t even have the courtesy to tell us smokers what they were doing. These ‘speed bump rings’ that are incorporated into the paper, has increased amounts of a glue produced by DuPont used to adhere carpet, and is very toxic, (Adhesive ethylene vinyl acetate). First our government unjustly targets smokers with a huge tax burden of 500% the past ten to fifteen years, now there going to poison us. Did I mention the taste? These RSC taste terrible, another factor I’m reading from smokers across the country online. The amber or (cherry) at the end of the cigarette doesn’t burn the same and allows too much air to mix with the smoke, and you can’t get enough taste. So you end up drawing on them repeatedly trying to get a good full drag. You end up with uneven burning and ambers falling all over the place. Seems to me this is going to cause ‘More Fire Hazard’. Also the constant relighting causes the paper to ignite into a real flame, and has even blown up in my face, and I only smoked a few packs of them. New York States 2004 study claims nine lives were saved. Nation wide that would be 450 lives per year, less than the number of people a ‘month’ who die from tripping and falling down. But it’s okay to make thousands of smokers’ nationwide sick. How many smokers a year will die now from the higher toxicity in the paper, only time will tell… If we allow these non smoking advocates to ‘dictate’ what we consume, were will it end? There’s still as many non smokers dying each year of lung cancer and heart disease as smokers, considering the high levels of pollution in our cities nationwide. Maybe next they’ll blame smokers for that too. James Whitehorne Phoenix Az. May 29, 2009 [email protected]
A: I’m sorry, but I ill have to agree with Harvard that there is no proven effect that it’s more harmful than the other chemicals in it. Yes it may make it taste different, but that is just one of the side effects of it.As to why there are hundereds of sick smokers complaining online, it is well proven medical fact, as well as both common knowledge and common sense, that smoking is bad for you. It can cause so many conditions I couldn’t list them all here.However, unless we have more information about what you mean by being “ill” I’m afraid we can’t really give a proper diagnosis.
universal healthcare……?
Q: it allows bureaucrats too much influence in our lives. there are SO many bad ways this could end. but hey, everyone wants free sh*t, right?——————————————————————————–MATTERS OF LIFE AND DEATHState denies cancer treatment, offers suicide instead’To say, we’ll pay for you to die, but not pay for you to live, it’s cruel’——————————————————————————–Posted: June 19, 200811:15 pm Eastern© 2009 WorldNetDaily State officials have offered a lung cancer patient the option of having the Oregon Health Plan, set up in 1994 to ration health care, pay for an assisted suicide but not for the chemotherapy prescribed by her physician.The story appears to be a happy ending for Barbara Wagner, who has been notified by a drug manufacturer that it will provide the expensive medication, estimated to cost $4,000 a month, for the first year and then allow her to apply for further treatment, according to a report in the Eugene Register-Guard.But the word from the state was coverage for palliative care, which would include the state’s assisted suicide program, would be allowed but not coverage for the cancer treatment drugs.”To say to someone, we’ll pay for you to die, but not pay for you to live, it’s cruel,” Wagner told the newspaper. “I get angry. Who do they think they are?”(Story continues below) She said she was devastated when the state health program refused coverage for Tarceva, the drug her doctor ordered for treatment of her lung cancer.The refusal came in an unsigned letter from LIPA, the company that runs the state program in that part of Oregon.”We had no intent to upset her, but we do need to point out the options available to her under the Oregon Health Plan,” Dr. John Sattenspiel, senior medical director for LIPA, told the newspaper.”I understand the way it was interpreted. I’m not sure how we can lift that. The reality is, at some level (doctor-assisted suicide) could be considered as a palliative or comfort care measure.”The 64-year-old Wagner lives in a low-income apartment in Springfield with her dog, the newspaper said.State officials say the Oregon Health Plan prioritizes treatments, with diagnoses and ailments deemed the most important, such as pregnancy, childbirth and preventive care for children at the top of the list. Other treatments rank below, officials said.”We can’t cover everything for everyone,” Dr. Walter Shaffer, a spokesman for the state Division of Medical Assistance Programs, told the paper. “Taxpayer dollars are limited for publicly funded programs. We try to come up with policies that provide the most good for the most people.”He said many cancer treatments are a high priority, but others reflect the “desire on the part of the framers of this list to not cover treatments that are futile.”Wagner, however, is ending up with the treatment needed when her lung cancer, in remission for two years, returned.She reported a representative for the pharmaceutical company called and notified her the drug would be provided for at least the first year.”We have been warning for years that this was a possibility in Oregon,” said the “Bioethics Pundit” on the Bioethics blog. “Medicaid is rationed, meaning that some treatments are not covered. But assisted suicide is always covered.””This isn’t the first time this has happened either,” the blogger wrote. “A few years ago a patient who needed a double organ transplant was denied the treatment but would have been eligible for state-financed assisted suicide. But not to worry. Just keep repeating the mantra: There are no abuses with Oregon’s assisted suicide law. There are no abuses. There are no abuses!sorry it was so long. the article itself looked pretty short……its not only about the taxes we’d get jacked for, its about letting government have that big of a say in our personal lives. catch-22, they are heading for the point when they will get to decide who will live and who will die. A REAL $$$ FIGURE on our lives…….i don’t want a POLITICIAN deciding my healthcare.Andrew K- you have much more freedom to choose your physician with the private insurance. you will be 100% putting your health in the hands of the gov’t with universal care, and they can’t even run the country efficiently.Mettie <3 and El Telecote- i agree 100%.downwithsocialists- i guess i’m evil and stupid too, because i agree with you.stratm663- once again, i now have a beef with the government having that much control of our lives. they WILL someday take it as far as putting a dollar amount on our lives, and decide who lives and who dies. that is the real BS.
A: My dad suffered from a brain tumor, and six weeks into his radiation treatments, before the chemo began, his HMO informed him they weren’t paying because he had been given a choice between going to Tucson or Albuquerque. He was a New Mexico resident, but his whole family resided in Tucson, so he chose to go there. Come to find out, the doctor had made a mistake.Twelve years and fifteen thousand dollars out-of-pocket later, my dad has survived the brain tumor and STILL DOES NOT WANT TO SEE A FEDERAL HEALTH CARE DEBACLE TAKE OVER THE COUNTRY.
