Bill would allow only 'fire-safe' cigarettes: "SPRINGFIELD -- As if being a smoker in Chicago wasn't enough of a drag. Now some state lawmakers are pushing to restrict cigarette sales to brands that meet fire safety standards.
Only self-extinguishing cigarettes would be sold in Illinois under a plan intended to reduce the number of fire-related deaths. If such a bill passes, Illinois would join three other states in forcing tobacco companies to make cigarettes the companies say aren't really 'fire safe.'
Though they should not taste different, the cigarettes would have bands in their paper to increase the chance they wouldn't be able to burn idly for more than a minute."

The urge to save humanity is always a false front for the urge to rule it. H. L. Mencken
