Marlboro Complaints - FSC Cigarettes

Review all Marlboro complaints

Marlboro

FSC Cigarettes
Complaint Rating:  95 % with 21 votes
Company information:
Carrollton, Texas
United States

Yes I know its a bad habbit, but I have smoke Marlboro Reds for 25 years. And have never had reason to complain until now. These new FSC Saftey Cigaretts are nasty. For my self they give me horrid headaches, dry mouth, sour stomach, and in a couple cases even vomiting. If you don't smoke Marlboro's for a few days these symptoms will go away, but don't believe me try it for your self, lets say over a 30 rotation.

Reading Blogs and other info around the net, it seem these FSC cigs are far more toxic than the Non FSC of days gone by, Which leads to some of the symptoms I mention above.

The Major Cigarette Companies are following the new Law's pertaining to Cigarette Saftey issues. Which is laugable at best.
The hot ash flares and flies everywhere and the cherry falls off constantly. I ask you what is suppose to be safe about that.
I can only conclude that either this is the biggest anti smoking campain set upon the smokers nation wide. Or the folks at Philip Morris really want to put them selves out of business.

They're awful, but they're gonna be everywhere soon. Sounds like I got TN til January, then OH til May, and then, Wyoming is the only hold out in the country. Guess I'll have to roll my own. It's disgraceful that there was never a vote or even a discussion, or even a dictatoresque announcement about this happening. A little special interest group just decided they wanted it done, and went after it and got it done. Why don't we fight back, I've tried but I'm in a small minority. http://www.non-filters.com

I think a lawsuit should be filed to force the removal of this poison they have added.I guess I can always get a can of bugle and some papers and roll my own instead of lining Marlboro's pockets for the worst possible additive you can put in cigs...how ironic they want to save our lives by adding a poison.We know they are bad for our health but we have the freedom to choose whether to smoke or not to, but when they force this FSC poison into our bodies they better be ready for another round of lawsuits, we care no more what some Harvard dr, who is probably on some anti-smoking board and has done no serious research to the healt risk they have exposed us to.

I'd like to know who is responsible for the change in laws that enables them shove this crap down our throats!!! No doubt, some radical, extremist tobaccophobe who had the contacts in DC to get this foisted upon the smoking public without the public even being aware that it was in the works!!! Just like everything else being done in Washington, by either the White House or our exalted congressmen/legislators, they think they are more qualified than us and therefore, only too happy to make decisions for us. I for one, am sick and tired of their intrusion into my life and will do what ever I can to change this. They all need to be run out of town on a rail or, more preferably, a "spit" !!!

Sign me,

A pissed off American!

P.S. Anyone who reads this and knows of a site or blog that I can join to help repeal this change, please contact me at jsonnylv3500@cox.net.

Thanks.

I think they should of asked us if we wanted a change, and what does it really do except go out and we have to puff on it so much more and maybe even light up more often. I know I shouldnt smoke but if I choose to do so then I should be able to smoke what I like and with the cost of every pack much higher, I think it would be better to roll my own, HOW COULD IT BE ANY WORSE

It is a terrible product. I commute from Michigan (Still FSC free) to Indiana for work. I was blindsided by this when I purchased Winstons in Indiana. I thought I was going crazy, and almost crashed my car thinking that I must have knocked the cherry off in my lap when the fire mysteriously disappeared. Then I started noticing the foul taste, the headache and nausia set in. Michigan smokers used to buy cigarettes in Indiana because they were cheaper. Now Hoosiers are flocking to Michigan to pay more for their cigarettes in an effort to avoid this disgusting product forced upon unsuspecting consumers of a highly addictive product. This is a good test of how the pacification of our society is working. A huge population of people (Tobacco addicts) once again laying down and taking it. Extorted by insane taxes, condescended on socially by those lucky enough to have escaped this addictions' grasp. And now this. I feel the oppression. It is only the beginning.

My name is Shana Stone, and I am writing this on behalf of myself, and the many thousands of smokers who are becoming ill from these new FSC cigarettes. I, along with the many thousands of smokers, have experienced serious health problems from the new FSC cigarettes, and I hope that once the FDA takes over, they will find that there have been new toxic chemicals added to them, and will have these so called FSC cigarettes banned! It is your duty to make sure that we are not being poisoned. I have not seen any evidence where the FSC's are any safer for preventing fires than the original cigarettes. In fact, it has been more of a problem since the FSC's came along. Many smokers have already complained about the fire hazards of the FSC cigarettes. For example: the fire falling off while smoking an FSC, and burning them, their clothes, their furniture, etc. Smokers, as a whole, should not be punished for one individual smoker's irresponsibilty. Saving 700-900 lives a year from cigarette related fires, does NOT constitute killing thousands of smokers from these toxic FSC cigarettes! I really hope that something will be done to repeal this new law. We, as american citizens, should've had a say as to whether we wanted the FSC cigarettes or not, since "WE" are the ones who pay the absolutely outrageous taxes on our cigarettes!

I would like to know why news stations and newspapers are ignoring our concerns with the FSC's? Is this how it's going to be, that we are just simply ignored? Apparently, since we are less than human...we will just have to deal with it! I am very dissapointed in the media for not giving a damn that we are genuinely having major health problems from these poisonous new cigarettes!

I thought i would mention to everyone who mentioned rolling their own, I told Phillip Morris the very same thing today when i called having a hissy. They told me that the papers to roll your will also... by law be 'banded' or FSC also. They told me before buying them I might want to check that out !!! x( I too get headaches, and have had my chair freggin' burned by the fire falling off ! Been smoking 30 years and have NEVVER burned anything before. I would like to know when they are going to make candles illlegal ?! Ya know the saying---guns dont kill people, people kill people ? Well cigarettes (and candles) dont start fires, irresponsible people start fires !!! UUURRRGGG!!!
The Harvard School of Health reported that when comparing NY Cigarettes (FSC) versus Regular Cigarettes, the FSC cigarettes produced 13.9% more Naphthalene and 11.4% more carbon monoxide than regular cigarettes. Naphthalene is commonly found in moth balls, and exposure in high amounts can result in headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malaise, confusion, anemia, jaundice, convulsions, and coma. Therefore, it has been proven that FSC cigarettes contain higher levels of chemicals that are harmful to smokers.

I live in Ohio, I thought it was odd that my cigarette went out for no reason. I decided to look at my pack of cigs and sure enough I was blind sided by the FSC. I went to lite my cigarette back up and it caught of fire. The flame only lasted a few seconds, but it was still very scary. This is bullshi*, from what I have heard, the cigarette companies didn't want to do it, they were forced to. I still do not think it is right though.

Check out that website.

Is anyone else suffering from a burning sensation on the inner lining of their mouth along the lips and cheeks? I wasn't even aware of this new FSC garbage and worried I that infection was setting in.

Do the papers from self-rolled cigarettes contain this chemical?

Hey Shana,

I have an idea. Let's tell Glen Beck about this.

What we need is a National Smokers Organization. I would vote against any lawmaker that supported FSC and/or higher taxes. By the way, the reason the cigarette goes out is the "bands" of thicker paper that block the air needed to keep the tobacco going. You can fix the cigarette with a needle by poking a few holes in the bands. The needles that are made for poking a finger for a blood test work really well. I'm not doing it much, but I feel better knowing that I can. What really bothers me about FSC is that I now have to suck on my cigarette harder and more often to keep it lit. I also think it is now possible that the hot ash could fall off without my realizing it and that is dangerous. I have been smoking for many, many years and certainly know how to smoke safely and use proper ashtrays that extinguish my cigarette. Now I have to learn again, with a more unpredictible and more dangerous product. I too think that smokers are being singled out. Are they afraid to tax alcohol? Why? Too many voters in that segment? Personally, I think when a cigarette caused fire was probably caused by a drinker with a cigarette. Heck, tax the crap out of cell phones. They cause car accidents just like drunks do. They tax us because we are a minority, but we CAN vote, correct?

SMOKERS!!! You all should switch over to the E CIG!!! Traditional Cigarettes will Kill you!!! E Cig will not KILL YOU These are Way More Healthier. I have been smoking mine for about 6 months Now Love it best Flavor is Strawberry and Vanilla ... I was a smoker of 1 1/2 packs of Marlboro Light 100's for 20 years I have cut back to only 5 Cigarettes per day with hopes of completely getting of those horrible things!!! The 2 piece design is the Best.. no more atomizer problems as for the Cartridge and atomizer are built together no more leaking filters with the 3 piece design. Not to saythe least 1 Carton of smokes that cost $45.99-$65.00 only will cost you with the ECig $14.99 for a carton!! The 2 piece design will give you the highest Vapor Volume on the market Awesome Product!!!

Sounds like a wonderful idea Barnbrat. I think everyone of us should start putting the pressure on the media, so that we are heard on this issue!

It's a shame that in a country where people scream for Equal Rights for all people - smokers are the most discriminated group in existence. First they ban smoking in public places (forcing people here in the Northeast to stand outside in the middle of Winter to enjoy a smoke), and now this ridiculous FSC nonsense.

People who don't smoke don't like the smell. Yes, we get it.
But that doesn't give the government permission to treat us like lepers.

I won't babble on about all that's previously been said, but it's all true - they taste horrible, they are more dangerous than the previous version, and they are causing me more harmful side effects (more coughing, sore throat, etc).

This is discrimination in it's purest form... and I hope that eventually a huge lawsuit ensues, and people who are being harmed by these horrible new products can be reimbursed for their suffering. I can hear the "holier than thou" non-smokers saying "Well you don't HAVE to smoke... you can quit"!! That may be true.. but smoking is not illegal... and this is a pitiful sneaky ploy of the government to force people to quit. It's a sad move by the greatest country in the world.

All I can do is shake my head in amazement. With all the problems facing our nation, with all the people legitimately suffering, hungry, homeless... our government chooses to waste time and money on things like this.

The FSC law is on a state to state level right now, so everyone needs to complain to their state rep. and state senator and let them know how sick these FSC cigarettes are making us.
