I have been a smoker of Benson and Hedges Gold (previously B&H SPecial Filter) for over 40 years - not necessarily a thing to be proud of, but merely a statement of fact.
I have recently noticed that the cigarettes are constantly going out, thus requiring a re-light which we are told adds to the dangers of accumulated chemicals being inhaled etc.
Over the weekend, a friend of mine complained that [i]her[i] brand (Royals) are now doing the same, which leads me to suspect that the manufacturers have altered the "recipe" of the tobacco without telling anyone!
Has anyone else any experience of this with their own brand, or any knowledge of why it is happening? I suspect that the Saltpetre content may have been removed, as I understand that it is this ingredient that keeps a cigarette alight when not being puffed.

It was in the news on Greek TV about ten days ago that it is a new health regulation thought to help smokers to give up smoking and also to reduce the volume of tobaco they inhale. Can not give you any more details though. Have to look into it on the net.

In Europe, "self-extinguishing" cigarettes are about to become law but where do they stand in the pantheon of safety innovations?

This nonsense will increase the pension problem, since the average life expectancy will increase.

And I’ve been smoking for 30 years about 2 packs a day but I can’t remember the last time I went to a doctor!

Deadly these cigarettes aren’t they?

Come again when you have reached retirement age...

Then warnings on packs should read…

“Smoking can kill you at retirement age in direct competition with a dozen other things!”
