fsc cigarettes
The new "Fire Safe Cigarettes" are a violation of consumer rights. Spare the lectures about smoking. A product is made for smokers to enjoy and large amounts of money are charged for these cigarette products. The FSC products interfere with the enjoyment of the product. I protest! Please make us normal cigarettes again!

fsc cigarettes
I have smoked Marlboros Blend No. 27 for a while now, as have all my friends. With this new FSC cigarette, 75% of the people who smoked them that I knew became violently ill. The people who were around that did not smoke did not get sick. One person I know got so sick from them he quit all together. I got sick too and came very close to quitting. We are scouting out the last bit of old No. 27's and stocking up but I refuse to smoke these FSC Cigarettes once my stash has depleted. Im switching brands as soon as I can't find any non-FSC Marlboros. Its pretty ridiculous.

Smoked Marlboro silver for years. Since the fact has come out, I have a terrible cough, an excess of coughed up plenty, chest is tight, throat burns and overall fatigue. I have quit smoking these cigarettes and am trying to find non fav cigarettes. Best I quit anyways.. this new thing of yours is hurting people myself included, shortness of breath, nasty taste film in my mouth.. headaches, y’all need to get rid of that crap before many lawsuits come your way more than now. Change them back!
I have been smoking the FSC cigarettes and am concerned about the taste and the possible after affects that will come along after. This should of been a nationwide vote. Also, Cigarette companies are going to lose so much money because I would rather quit smoking than smoke the nasty cigarettes they are selling now. Are they going to make us sick? Who will pay for that? Has the paper even been FDA approved? Has it undergone 15 yrs of testing to make sure it is safe?
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.
Rolling My Own Til Further Notice
I have become very ill due to the fact that I have smoked FSC cigarettes everyday I wake up with horrible chest pains, my mouth and my throat feel like they are on fire. I have lost my sense of taste. I have very high fevers and I feel like I can't breath. I know I should quit right? well it is easier than it sounds. I can't believe the government passed a law under our noses, that will potentially kill us faster! Way to go America! We as smokers already feel like lepers and we get gouged with paying high taxes. Would you please just give us back our regular cigarettes please!
I understand that this may not be Marlboro's fault because of the new laws passed for the FSC cigarettes but we should have a choice if we want to purchase FSC or regular. I know cigs aren't good for you but whatever they are adding to it can't be any more helpful but since they basically put a warning saying cigs will prolly kill you it makes them exempt from further liability. Honestly. I don't know wheather to complain or thank you, since I quit smoking because of this new type of cigarette, which in turn helps me save more money because of the prices steadily increasing. Since this has started, I know 5 people that have quit smoking already and more in the progress so kudos to the government for trying to have control over peoples lives(said with sarcasm), I guess in a way you are helping some by so many people quitting instead of smoking these nasty cigarettes.
Yea, I agree. I got sick ever since they added the fireproof crap and now I'm going to sue the hell out of them !
Philip Morris is shipping their tobacco to their factory in the Philippines and is producing Non-FSC cigarettes all day long... then http://TobaccoTrain.com ships them back to America and other countries that prefer American Non-FSC cigarettes.
They are not European/Chinese blends, only American.
I am 30 years old and I have smoke since I was 14. Just recently over the last 2 weeks I have started having seizures. I am looking at every angle to figure out why. My mom called me today to have me look at the fsc information and blogs. Has anyone else experianced seizures from the fsc? Does anyone know if seizures are a valid adverse symptom of the fsc?
Binder has once again proven the theorem I+A=D. Internet+Anonymous=[censor]
I have recently come down with terrible hive outbreaks all over my body. I normally smoke Parliament lights and have never had a problem. When I started getting hives, I started tracking everything that I ate or drank. When I ruled out pretty much everything, I realized on the days that I had hive outbreaks, I had smoked somebody's Marlboro Lights! Never again! I am researching to find out what in the world they have changed about Marlboro Lights that I am allergic too. But it has pretty much drawn me to quit all together...so if that's what they are trying to do by changing the cigarettes and adding even more chemicals to them, then well done...I am now a non-smoker!
cigarettes won't burn
I have been smoking Marlboro cigarettes since 1972, and paid .38 a pack and have paid the increases over the years, and although I can't afford the price you put on them, I still smoke them by choice even if I have to cut back on food and other luxurys to be able to. About the last week or so, I have burned holes in everything I own because they won't burn. When I light them back up, the paper flames up and then falls off on wherever I'm sitting, and before I can take another drag off of it, it goes out again. When I put the cigarette out, I want another one as soon as I'm finished, because I didn't get to smoke the first one. I heard the government put something in them so they wouldn't burn. That's like making food you can't eat. What's the purpose? I quit for three months cold turkey when I turned 43 because I wasn't getting to go walking to counteract the cough and congestion. The nicotine habit isn't hard to break. It only stays in my system 7 days so I don't get the joke on companys making 1000's of dollars by taking advantage of smokers. I chose the habit when I was 13 and I still choose it at 50 except now I can't smoke because they won't stay lit. I don't feel that anyone has the right to say how I smoke. I have invested many dollars on Marlboros and Marlboro products through promotions and other oppurtunities. I already can't smoke in public. I had to go to a designated area at work before an 18 wheeler pulled out in front of me and broke my knee in 4 places, broke my ankle off and had surgery to put 2 screws in my ankle plus it crushed my heel totally. I had three surgerys. I couldn't smoke in the hospital and I've been on the couch with my leg elevated for 5 1/2 months to keep it from swelling. Since I can't work and all I can do is lay around, I smoke even more than I did before. I've already used up a can of butane from having to fill my lighter up everyday because of having to light each cigarette 10 or 12 times. It is very aggravating. I'm paying $5.00 a pack or $45.00 per carton to have my luxury of choice. I made 1.65 an hour when they were 38 cents a pack. Now I make 8.00 an hour (or was before I was injured)and they are 5.00. That alone is rediculous, but now I'm paying that and can't even enjoy them. I don't know who's idea it was to add an anti-burn ingredient to a product that is supposed to burn, but it has definitely devestated me. At this point until I get better, my quality of life is laying in pain, watching T.V. to distract myself from it and smoking. I have an air filter that creates a natural ozone in my home, so it's not like I'm inconsiderate of others around me. I'm very considerate of others every where I go because I realize it's my habit and I have great respect for those that don't smoke, including my daughter. I already put up with having to clean nicotine off of everything in my home because it's my choice to smoke, but I believe that someone is determined to put tobacco companies out of business by making this change and it's been around since the beginning of time when it came from a seed that God put here for people like me. Instead of spending $200.00 + per month in the future to buy them ready made from whoever is messing them up, I'm having my neice take me to the tobacco store tomorrow to buy a pound of tobacco and the tubes with filters on them and I can roll 3 cartons for $20.00. I'm happy about the savings but I'm very disappointed in whoever made the choice to screw up a commodity. I remember when Santa Claus advertised Winston on T.V. I hope enough smokers complain and the economy will suffer worse than it already is so they will have to go back to the way they were. If not, I've got 2 sleeping bags, a tent, multiple keychains, lighters, T-shirts, beach towels, and other items with the Marlbore logo on them that I will not use anymore. I hope they don't start putting additives in sugar or coffee or a million other things that makes America turn everyday by making them undesirable. They've already got the planet to where we can barely live on it as it is, because no one can afford anything of their choice if they have an average job and didn't have the money to go to college. I don't mean to sound rude, but my dad fought in World War II and risked his life so that the Country could remain "free" and I have worked hard since I was 13 and now I'm 50, can't work because of someone else's lack of paying attention and couldn't afford to go to the Doctor or Dentist when I was able to work so I think they should leave cigarettes alone for Pete's sake. For what it's worth, THANK YOU! J.Y.

I called the company, and they said that if you put your pack of cigarettes in the Microwave for 4 seconds, they will not go out like that. (: I hope this helps you.

marlbor light cigarettes
I bought a carton of Marlboro Light cigarettes and they did not burn properly. They would go out almost immediately after lighting. If I wasn't puffing constantly, it would go out. It was also hard to puff the cigarette, like it was "clogged" or something. Very bad and a waste of my money. I was very disappointed. I had to go out and buy another carton.

It would be nice to be reimbursed.
Thank You,
A loyal Marlboro smoker for 7 years.

cigarette burning
The last carton of cigarettes I got did have the FSC above the barcode. While I do see a purpose behind the new laws that mandate cigarette makers to use less igniting material in their products, I feel that in the case of Marlboro, Phillip Morris has taken things to far. The cigarette will not stay lit unless you a constantly puffing on it. Some of them go out before you have time to exhale. The fire falls off of the cigarettes now, and that can cause a danger (esp. while driving). There are other brands that may burn slower, but do not burn out. Marlboro appeared to be that way for a while, but now have gone overboard.
I have smoked Marlboro for the last 26 years and will most likely stay a loyal customer. However, I do feel that corrections need to be made to the product being released at this time. If corrections are not made, I will consider trying another brand.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Dear Sirs.
I agree with the letter headed ( Cigarette Burning ) The Red dot strip is a danger as the hot ash falls out at the end of every cigarette. If my insurance company new I smoked Marlboro Red my car, household and Motor insurance would rocket !. Having enjoyed Marlboro for over 50 years I now live in fear of burning the house down or having a motor accident. Please. Please use some common sense ( Philip Morris.) DANGER. DANGER.
SAME HERE BAD SYMPTOMS: AURAS AND MIGRAINENS, EXCESSVIE SEAWTING, SEVERE SHORTNESS OF BREATH
I STOPPED AND ALL WENT AWAY EXCEPT FOR SHORTNESS OF BREATH, MIGRAINS, CHEST PAINS EXCEPT TODAY. I FEEL A BIT BETTER THIS TIME I HAD A FIRST CIG AND IT WAS NOT SUCH A STRONG REACTION. THE PACK DOES HAVE FSC? I WENT TO MY DOCTOR A FEW WEEK AGO AND HE GAVE ME AN INHALER, SO STILL HAVE FSC BUT NOW THEY HAVE A PHAFMCUTICAL INHALER TO HELP WITH THE SYMPTOMS...SOUNDS LIKE THE NEW AMERICAN SCAM, HAVE TO STOP SMOKING NOW THIS WILL KILL U IN A SHORT TIME I AM SURE OF IT. ALWAYS WOULD BUT NOW MUCH FASTER. LETS PUT THEM IN JAIL WHERE THEY BELONG ISN'T THAT WHAT THEY DO TO CRACK AND HEROIN PUSHERS? OH I FORGOT NOW WE GIVE THESE PEOPLE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. I GUESS THE OLD COPD WAS NOT FAST ENOUGH AND COST TOO MUCH IN MEDICAL CARE. READ THE SIDE EFFECTS OF FOR STRIVERDI RESPIMAT. BELIEVABLE BUT SO SAD WHAT OTER SPECIES KILLS EACH OTHER IN SUCH A HORRIBLE WAY FOR A FEW BUCK.S.
I have been smoking pm products over 40 years. Like others I will travel to find the one's I smoke. The new fsc cigarettes are an inferior product. I am horrably addicted. Have been trying to quit since 1986 but to know avail. I purchase a carton every 4 to 5 days. after reading some of the other complaints they have enlightened me to how I'm feeling health wise. My other complaint is the fire falling off. I am a commercial driver and am fortunate to be able to smoke at any time. These new cigarettes have dropped the fire off and burnt the seat of my pick up truck, my bass boat...and last but not least my new motorcycle. It's not due to my carelessness as stated before, I have alot of experience smoking. For the price that we pay it seems that pm would do everything they could to keep us as customers. If something doesn't change I will attempt to find a different product.
Dosal Tobacco must not be smoking their own cigarettes. It is the paper that has changed the taste and flavor and is making people sick. I have five Dosal FSC cartons that I cannot smoke. They make you sick. Excessive coughing, shortness of breath, sore throat, headaches and many other flu like symptoms. From the internet I understand that the new paper contains ethylene vinyl acetate and polyvinyl acetate which is basically used in carpet glue. The cigarette would go out and when relit would cause sparks and often a 1-inch diameter fireball. I purchased some non FSC cigarettes and the symptoms stopped. The FSC cigarettes is hurting older persons more especially if they have heart or lung problems. I guess the government is trying to eliminate them first. Most of the older people do not realize what is causing their new problems because no one has informed them of these cigarette changes. Their doctors don't realize or are too busy trying to sell their AMA stop-smoking services and products. This law trying to save some of the 800 persons per year caused by carless cigarette smoking is actually testing the carpet glue on some 20% of Americans.
Our state governments have failed us. The FDA now has the power to regulate cigarettes. The Food and Drug Administration is a regulatory agency with the scientific expertise to identify harmful substances in products to which consumers are exposed. If hamburger is making people sick in the US then products are recalled and pulled off the shelves with a lot of testing to find the cause. Almost every state has passed the fire safe cigarette laws to decrease approximately 800 deaths from smoking related fires. (800 as opposed to 400, 000 deaths in the United States each year from tobacco products.) These FSC cigarettes have added more toxic amounts of ethylene vinyl acetate and polyvinyl acetate to the non-tobacco ingredients of cigarettes produced in the paper. The FDA needs to test the difference in toxic levels between the non-FSC and the new FSC cigarettes and report on the difference. But this is not important to the FDA because they are worried about young people smoking flavor cigarettes. Because of lack of news coverage most people don't realize that the FSC cigarettes are making them sick. The FDA has a responsibility to all Americans not just to the non smokers.
I'd like to smoke my cigarette before it goes out. K thanks. I used to look forward to smoking but now I look forward to finding the few remaining packs of Marlboro Menthol Lights in NC with out FSC above the UPC. I am very disappointed in PMorris. Why should prices keep going up if we're getting a unsatisfactory product. At first I thought it was me just not puffing on it hard enough but then a friend pointed out that FSC was supposed to prevent a dumb*** from catching things on fire. hahaha why must they take simple pleasures away from us Americans? I have been a loyal CUSTOMER for years and the CUSTOMER is ALWAYS right!
...the price thing is just another capitalist move by our government that, unfortunately we are forced to deal with. However, whatever Marlboro has done to the cigarettes and for whatever reason... it is ABSURD. Like the post earlier stated, not only is it an inconvenience - it is a SAFETY HAZARD! Not to mention, whatever it is that has been added to the different spots in the cigarettes that makes them burn all crazy cannot be good for us. For cryin out loud we are already smokers...
MARLBORO, PHILIP MORRIS... WTH! STOP IT! It's dumb.
I disgree for the high prices of marlboro brands and also evry time we buy cigarrettes they all chage taxes when it says on the bottom of the pack that taxes have been paid.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERNED I TOTALLY DISAGREE FOR THE AND VEY UPSET COSTUMER FOR PAYING TOO MUCH MONEY FOR ONE PACK OF MARLBORO REDS CIGARETS WHEN THEY USED TO BE CHEAPER BEFORE WHAT HAPPEND AND WHY DID THEY WENT UP.WHEN ARE THEY GOING DOWN ON PRICES AGAIN.
SENCERILY:AN UPSET COSTUMER.
I agree. Just posted about this on another complaint board. My cigarettes just went up to 60.00 a carton (!) and they are a pain to smoke any more instead of a pleasure.
I also have been sick with headaches, nausea, tightness in my chest and also stomach problems. i do have some food allergies but have not broke out in hives in a long time, now i am and also have a sinus infection that i wouldnt doubt id from these cigarettes, i also am thinking of changing brands thinking maybe the difference in the tatse will some how make the other ok...dont know what to do someone please help us.
cigarette sucker
wholly crap! I didn't know these cigarettes would stop burning! I smoke Marl. Menthol ... ran out ... bummed one from hubby. Damn thang kept going OUT! Asked my husband if he had any to do that!? He said "yep, it's a safety issue". A safety issue? How can that be if I had to light it in the first place? Now, I have to keep LIGHTING it! Hmmmmm, now I figure, if you have to relight your cigarette two more times per ciggie on average, then, that means I will NOW need EXTRA lighters. Better buy stock in lighters! Reckon Marlboro owns Bic lighters now? LOL But, if I had bought these cigarettes at say ... Walmart ...could I return them because I'm NOT satisfied? What is this new comment on the side of the pack? Nothing reads "may cause cancer". Reads contains carbon monoxide! Maybe this is the key to which packs are slow burning and which are not. I am soooooo pissed! First I can rarely smoke in public, as my rights were taken away, can't ride with kids in the car if I smoke (in some states) ... (glad I do not have kids), then in Texas I pay $1.00 State Tax per pack. Now when I am in the privacy in my OWN home I can maybe take one or two puffs before it goes out. Well, why quit now? My mom smoked for 30 years, quit 12 yrs ago and died of LUNG CANCER 4 months ago. Believe it! But now, allow me to do drugs and I can be high anywhere in public, I can do any kind of drug in any restroom and I don't get the evil eye anywhere. I'm not taxed, (glad I'm not in Atlantic City where the italian mafia WAS charging taxes for illegal activities). The way I figure and this is just plain common sense, there are more people that are slaves to drugs that create more thefts and burglaries than people who smoke and leave a cigarette burning ...that burn down a building. Look at your local newspaper. How many fires did you read abt. that were caused by cigarettes? How many robberies? ... okay you got it! Here's the other part I can't figure out ... when a person is smoking ... is that person holding their cigarette or is it laying somewhere burning? In General? BTW, has anyone noticed that you had to suck harder on these cigarettes? or is it just me? Do they still seem to satisfy the nicotine addiction? Just curious. Okay, I'm done [censor]in.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
here in canada when they forced companies to add chemicals (not carbon monoxide, that is a byproduct of incomplete combustion) in their ciggarettes there was an obvious change in the flavour. It has been a few years since they made that change here, but I do recall how utterly disappointed in the chemical taste that myself and my friends were experiencing. i feel your pain, but unfortunately have no solutions... though i suspect buying rolling tobacco may be a way around that, but then again they might still spray whatever chemical on that stuff too
fsc
Why change now? I have smoked marlboro for years-now with this (fsc) thing going on, which someone told me about through the grapevine, im think it's time I quit — not that I want to — but I think I could save a lot of money if I go to the basement and chop up some old t-shirts and smoke them — it about what phillip morris and the government have come to.. Now they are either going to kill the remaining smokers off or make you quit — smoke free world! Yeah lets do it
I am extremely disappionted in the fact that I no longer have a choice, regarding cigarettes. As a tobacco consumer I pay more federal and state taxes than non smokers. We are being treated like second class citizens as well as criminals during the middle ages. The FSC cigarettes not only destroy the taste but they are making all of us sick. I am being forced to quit due to the addition of these chemicals. Regardless of the reasoning behind this, I would love to know the statistics of cigarette related fires.
I unexpectedly purchased a pack of FSC cigarettes. Upon smoking one of the aformentioned cigarettes I became sick to my stomach, accompanied with dry heaves that led to violent vomiting. The chemicals in these FSC cigarettes need to undergo further consumer consumption testing before being exclusively sold.
to whom this may concern. i have been smoking marlboros for 5 years now and i have signed up for cupons sereveral times and still have not received anything... i am seriously thinking about switching brands do to expenses...
As if it's not enough that you @#$% addicted us to your product, now you have ruined the flavor and enjoyment of it by requiring that it be constantly relit or "huffed back to life". I strongly suggest that you take the same route that Coke did, admit you blew it and offer the "Classic" version to your DIE HARD consumers. Thanks for nothing!
Have you tried quitting smoking? that oughtta help ya...
I have smoked marboro's for almost 20 yrs. now all of a sudden I am having serious pains in my head since the new
F.S C. has been used. I have not done anything different and am wondering if anyone else is feeling the same. Not sure who to turn to or what to think right now, But I am very concerned. Does anyone really no if this is really safe or not?Let me know please. Shawn M. F
I have been having issues with coughing and headaches since smoking the FSC cigarettes, so when are we the consumers going to filled in on what exactly is in these cigarettes? I have checked your website for the ingredients that have been added, but you will not display these for fear of competitors getting the information. So I was wondering how the FDA approved any changes and what long term studies they and you have done as to the harmful additives that go in these type of cigarettes. Where can I get a copy of this report? I know that smoking has health realted issuses that go along with usage, but I'm telling you that more and more people are going to start having health issuses with this new paper. I as a smoker of many years have continued to smoke regardless of cost or health risks but now I'm rethinking that position. So I guess what I should say is thank you for giving the reason to finally stop. Your revenues are going to suffer, your consumers are going to suffer, and I hope people start to look into the additives that you are using.

These new FSC cigarettes which are designed to reduce the risk of burning down your house are more dangerous than the old non-fsc cigarettes. Almost every time that I smoke one of these new FSC Marlboros the cherry falls off or the ashes just spontaneously fall off on me. I never had this problem with the old style. We actually burned a hole in our couch the other day because the cherry just fell off for no reason. This is not the only complaint about this new formula, besides the safety issue, these cigarettes burn out all the time and have to be re-lit, they taste terrible and they throw white sparks off of them occasionally as though they have been dusted with gun powder. Find another way to make them idiot proof instead of making them worse...or better still, let people take some responsibility for their own actions. If you aren't careful enough to not burn down your house with your cigarettes, then perhaps you shouldn't be smoking them in the first place.
Me and my wife have been smoking Marlboro for years and we were able to buy them until today with out the fsc we had to pay more for the original Marlboro now we cannot and I cannot smoke them they make me sick not minor they give me head aches and extreme sinus problems and a sore throat it is awful now we have no choice but to quit i hope that Marlboro is being paid good by the government for this but me and my wife and and all my family father mother brother grandmother and a quite of few friends now they have lost a lot of business I sure hope that some one in Marlboro reads this and realize that this is about the worse business move they have made in their history every business owner and retailer and any one that ever has done any kind of business
knows its not what u sale its what the consumer wants and i have not met anyone that has liked this move made by this messed up move like i said i hope that Marlboro really has thought this through and reconsiders like a saying i always have heard if its not broke don't fix it leave it alone and another thing is we are responsible to decide to smoke but we are not responsible enough to put our own cigarette out

bad cigarettes
i know if u smoke cigarettes they take time off of your life. Changing the paper now to burn slower, doesnt that make you suck on the cigarette harder when taking a drag? they need to notify smokers when they do this stuff. it sucks. i want my old cigarette back
Almost all USA made Marlboros are FSC. They changed the paper to burn slower but it kills smokers faster. Marlboros taste really harsh now. I am sure it is because fire-safe paper is constructed by gluing two or three thin bands of less-porous paper together with an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer emulsion based adhesive (carpet glue). FSC cigarettes can be identified the FSC above the barcode on the pack. I am not going to smoke carper glue, I switched to overseas cigarettes from http://www.azcigs.com/ they still safe normal cigarettes.
Here are the lunatics behind the FSC cigarettes http://firesafecigarettes.org/categoryList.asp?categoryID=9&URL=Home%20-%20The%20Coalition%20for%20Fire%20Safe%20Cigarettes
Get your hacker friends to bomb their site
And also, they would be the defendants in the inevitable law-suit
This is a product safety issue, since these cigarettes produce falling-off embers and sparks. THAT would be the best attack point. Nobody gives a crap about the health of us smokers. Though it DOES seem like some sort of eugenics attack on us. Remember - Nazis hated cigarettes
If anyone finds a lawyer who would be willing to take this garbage on email me please wertyq69@yahoo.com
I AGREE : ILL BUY AND BOOTLEG SMOKES OVER THAT FSC CRAP. THER FORCING SMOKERS TO INGUEST CHEMICALS THAT WILL END UP KILLING THEM, JUST SO THEY WONT HAVE TO PAY OUT SOICAL SECURITY . WHEN A PERSONS READY TO RETIRE CAUSE THE POOR SOUL WILL BE DEAD . WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP !
In 2008, I became very ill. I was coughing, choking in my sleep, vomiting, major headaches, and extremely severe pain in my legs, muscles and joints. It was so bad, i had to be assisted in walking and had to buy a 4 wheeler to get around my farm.Doctors could not find out what was wrong with me. I thought I was going to die. after 20k in medical tests a friend asked me if i was smoking FSC cigs, i said i dont know, what is that. I was told it was a poison chemical being put in cigs now and i was not aware this was going on. I had wondered why they kept going out when i set them down and why i had to drag more often to keep it lit. Once i learned of this BS, i stopped smoking my brand and switched to a non FSC brand. In one week, the symptoms started going away and after one month, i could walk again. almost 4 monthes now and nearly all the pain is gone and i can fuction again with out being assisted. Doctors were amazed that this had happened and that the FSC WAS the cause of my near death. What the hell is this country coming to? It is time we take back our rights! Any attorneys out there have the balls to go after these jack ###?
Marlboros have completely lost the taste that I craved. Smoking one now is like smoking an imposter. I really miss the pleasure that I used to get from a Marlboro. Now they are dull and lifeless. They have taken something out of Marlboro Red Box that made them great. Now they are bland and lifeless. I'm switching to American Spirit. No more Marlboro loyalty.
I want to sue Marlboro for my Fleases and other cloths and carpets these cigarettes have ruined..
dont stay light light them back up and almost light my face on fire Big fireball..
HOT ASHES allways falling ruining every thing they touch just ruined 2 fleases in 2 days..
I HATE THESE FSC THINGS>>
MARBLORO YOU OWE ME AT LEAST $1, 000 in ruined cloths and carpets
I have been a hard core Marlboro smoker for 20 +years. After smoking these new FSC smokes, all I can say is "I AM DONE". The constant coughing that I have aquired now is just getting out of control. The chemicals that have been added to our smokes is making us sick. Lets show em whos BOSS.. Stop buying or at least buy LESS... Lets tell the government where they can put these chemicals at... RIGHT UP THEIR ###"...

I work at a local convenience store, the complaints on the FSC is UNREAL. Customers are threatening to quit smoking solely because of the FSC additive. I too am a smoker, I realize the reason why the additive is in there, but I still do not like it. The ash problem is going to cause a fire before a whole lit cigarette will ever. I was sitting here watching TV after work, relaxing and smoking, an ash fell and burnt a hole in my new work jacket. Now how am I going to explain that? This is something I have to pay for because of this new "safer" cigarette. This was a really bad idea, and all complaints should be taken into consideration by the tobacco industry. It is costing everyone more money because of having to puff more so the cigarettes won't go out, and causing way too many complications. I have not had any of the headaches or nose bleed or migrianes that I have read about, but I cannot quit coughing. This is not a smokers cough, I was in the hospital 6 months ago, I was told by a nurse that I had the clearest lungs she had ever heard in a smoker. I bet she wouldn' t say that now.
These things (FSC Marlboros) are real KILLERS!

I have always wondered how the USA will end... This FSC cigarette standard will surely divide the USA as its never been divided before. Just imagine upsetting and poisoning millions of addicted smokers and their potential feelings and unknown reactions. Instead of educating the public of ALL the dangers of smoking they have chosen to NOT TRUST the smoking American public and force Ethyl Vinyl Acetate laden FSC cigarettes upon them. Well I have been thinking about this whole FIRE SAFETY thing and how smokers have been singled out by Government and NFPA National Fire Protection Association. This is most unfortunate as I see many other dangerous activities and situations that are just as dangerous as smoking cigarettes. Should Government and NFPA act upon other sources of fire ignition? Such as burning candles, space heaters, fireplaces, outdated home appliances and electrical wiring, natural gas lines and BBQ propane tanks. Or how about stop making flammable cars or truck or issuing drivers licenses to younger inexperienced and older brain dead drivers to reduce car accidents resulting in explosive fireballs. Hydrogen powered engines is out of the question. Lawn mowers and other small engines that tend to spark should be illegal and banned. I am sure camping and having camp fires should be illegal to prevent forest fires. Boy Scouting could become a thing of the past. All the restaurants that use ovens, burners, butter and cooking grease should be made to close and ONLY sandwich shops serving cold cuts and bags of chips should remain open. And on and on... The only good thing is these FSC cigarettes might save 700 to 1000 lives a year but the unknowns from this action and what this action will lead too remains to be seen and surly will be a divisive force to ultimately destroy the USA - UNITED STATES of AMERICA. This country is in danger and not united and is more divided than ever before. Democrats rise and Republicans sit and independents cant even get a chair or even a word in edgewise. Don't get me wrong I love my country and really don't care what someone does as long as it does not effect me. I am a long time American smoker that does not like or appreciate others telling me what to do and tricking me (not notifying) by placing EVA Carpet Glue chemicals into my cigarettes and making me sick. Some say there is one thing worse than a Heroin addict and thats a person addicted to cigarettes. Soon there will be millions of trembling, pissed off, creative, free thinking smokers to contend with. Way to go NFPA and the US Government I sense you just drove the last nail into your very own coffins and destroyed individual rights that took many years and lives to create. Only time will tell the consequences of the forced introduction of the FSC cigarette and its Patented "Speed Bump" paper. Philip Morris has exclusive rights to use, sell and distribute this paper to all cigarette manufacturers which will make them tons of money in exchange for destroying the rights of individuals in the USA. Every time you drive or smoke over a "Speed Bump" remember its because someone or something out there does NOT TRUST YOU and wants to take your money for NOTHING ! GET IT !
bad service dirty office
The office was dirty and the office staff rude and lazy. I waited an exuberant amount of time in their nasty waiting room and finally went in to see the doctor. I wanted a flu shot and I spoke with him about another issue. He did not want to give me a flu shot and told me I had allergies without even testing me. He did, although, charge me my office visit. I found out from another doctor that it was not allergies and was a far greater problem Thankfully I changed my primary doctor and went to someone else! I was then billed for $25.00. I contacted my insurance carrier and they told me to have the doctor resubmit the claim. I spoke with the office manager Jamie and also Janine. Both too lazy to call and take my word for it. Actually Janine hung up on me. Contacted BCBS and filed complaint and they told me they would handle. I am now going to make several complaints to Consumer Affairs and whoever else I can complain to. All over lazy people and $25.00 such a shame. I would never ever recommend anyone to their offices
I've been with this group 17 years. They have never let me down, have always followed my medical issues start to finish even while hospitalized for 16 months. Frank Mario & Steven Ingato are the best in NJ for complete medical care ALL ISSUES. G. Miller
I've been going to Medical associates of Marlboro four years. I also was a patient long before the new group took over. My only complaint is when I go for a well check up. I end up sick a week later and then it goes into my asthma. I would like to see some circulation of the air in the office during the winter so the well people have half of a chance staying well.
Please note that since this posting, the Bayville office of Medical Associates of Marlboro is under new management, and has drastically improved its office conditions. MAOM is constantly striving to put our current and future patients first, and value our patient's opinions and suggestions.
bad packs
Myself and my boyfriend have smoked (Marl reds) for a long time now. We buy them a few packs at a time each, approx. 2 x's a week. About a month to a month and a half ago we started geting bad ciggs and its remained that way ever since. I began buying from different stores but it didn't matter. Its like that everywhere I go. I do not know what would be...

I just bought a carton of Marlboro Menthols and EVERY cigarette I have smoked has either put itself out or the cherry has fallen off. I have smoke Marlboro's for years and this is just insane. If I am paying $50.00 a carton I want the damn thing to smoke the way it is supposed to. This smoker is very upset with the quality.
Not only am I unhappy with the way the burn, but Ive been getting a lot of sore throats since they changes! I feel like im smoking Cat nip!
i feel sorry for you bro
but im wondering, im smoking marlboro menthol lights and they dont do the same thing
weird
i live in the philippines
same thing sorta happened to me... but i dropped my ash in my lap when i was naked.. and not only did i burn all the pubic hair on, and around my penial region.. i also burned the tip of my shaft... THANX MARLBORO!
And Oh be careful driving ! I almost took out a mailbox putting the cherry out that fell in my lap, now how is that safer? Burning buildings decline car accidents on the rise! Nice going marlboro..
I don't normally smoke MM's, but my local grocery has had them buy one get one the last week or so. I'm having the same problem, but I think I've found the culprit. I live in PA, and here (I'm sure this will be true in all states soon) the state gov'mt has decided that all cigarettes must be "fire safe." Apparently a lot of fatal fires have been caused by people falling asleep with a lit cigarette. The cigarettes snuff themselves out as to not catch fire if the smoker loses the cigarette for some reason. All I know is that these new cigarettes snuff themselves ridiculously fast, and drop ash everywhere. I could deal with that, what has me godsmacked is that the cherry falls off and I've burned myself and my carpet more in the last week or so than I have in years. It's insane!
oozing tar from the filter
I bought a pack of marlboors today at the local Eccard pharmacy just like I do pretty much everyday. When I lit the first cigarette, smoke wouldent come out of the filter, only this black ooz tar would keep seeping out. The whole pack was like this.. The store won't do anything so im forced to quit marlboros and pick up Newports. Ripped off..

I bought 2 packs of marlboro cigarettes and when i smoked them they would either stop burning and go out or the cherry of the cigarette would fall off. Ive been smoking for a while and if this keeps happening i will end up changing brands.
Long time Marlboro customer. But.. no longer. Tired of constant relighting cigs 2 to 4 times each cig. But yet, if I were to but down in ash tray.. then they keep burning to the end. I think I'm going through 2-3 times as many lighters as result. This is stupid and completely unenjoyable. Who knows what chemical is added to make these FSC cigs. Not cool Marlboro! Now all Marlboro cigs SUCK!
I guess Marlboro and any other FSC brands don't want our money anymore. They could have just told that to us consumers they don't really want our money anymore instead of causing us lots of frustration and wasted money. Now i will go to natural tobacco cigs like a friend of mine smoke. You can either roll your own or they have machines that make just like commercial brands. And.. the shorts last TWICE longer that 100's. If that isn't proof that Marlboro and the others are RIPPING US OFF with problematic cigs that burn away twice faster that natural Tobacco ought to.
Marlboro.. I'm done with your chemically induced rip-off sticks!
The pack I opened I had to throw away..tasted like burnt tobacco...yuk!
i got a cartoon of cigaretts and half of them were broken
Uhm...how do lit cigarettes NOT taste like burnt tobacco? Are you not aware of what cigarettes are made of? This is the dumbest post on the entire site.
Нes such sometimes happens. At me last year was approximately also
1) Not all brands are fire safe (Camels and Marlboro are)
2) It's not the paper its "saftey rings" Doubled up sections of paper like rings about every 1/4inch that act like a speed bump and burn them out if left unattended.
3) The test they use to prove if a Cig is firesafe is flawed and doesn't work. The lay the Cig flat on paper and if at least 75% of 40 cigs tested burn out it passes.
4) You can walk and talk and 75% will burn themselves out but if you leave one unattended (NOT LAYING ON PAPER) it will burn to the filter.
Note the photo - the dark ring is the "saftey paper"...didn't even slow it down and burnt to the filter.
I live in the state of New Hampshire. Only in the past year did the cigarettes here start to taste really bad or lack in taste. It's horrible! I've bought some packs with FSC on the label that tasted like they should, but the more recent ones either had NO taste at all or they're horrible. They stop burning, the cherry (lit end) falls off, I'll cough like a manic, and the phlegm in the morning would be terrible. I'd also have these large, hard-like booger things grow in the back of my throat that would choke me. After I dropped the Marlboro brand these symptoms all stopped. I have been smoking for many years, and while I realize it is NOT a healthy habit, even I know that the changes in these FSC cigarettes are causing these symptoms. Non-smokers can say whatever they want and claim that these symptoms are just from years of smoking (this is what the Government wanted to happen anyway), but I know better. I've had a physical and everything checked out fine. Nothing is WRONG with me, and my doctor knows I smoke. So stuff that in your pipes and smoke it, non-smokers.
Fireproff my butt, they are a fire hazard, I have burnt my legs while sitting at my computer as well as in lawn chairs, and a cherry falls off, burnt my bedspread, carpeting, floors, you just never know when it is going to fall off and that is fireproof? One fell off in my laundry basket, I had a plastic bag on the bottom a small fire but this is assinnine. You know getting burns yourself from a cigarette is not a good feeling.You got it roll your own and get caught with a paraphenalia charge from some stupid cop. amazing, someone should sue them, I am sure I am not the only one who got burns on my legs from falling cherries in the middle of a cigarette.
This are FSC cigarettes, the USA gov approves the low which require the tobacco industry to use fire-[censor]ant paper in all cigarettes to make them self-extinguish...[censor] inventyed by anti-smokers. Some consumers claim they have found a noticeable difference in the taste of FSC cigarettes from non-FSC cigarettes, comparing it to a copper or metallic taste. Other symptoms reported include an itchy rash, (allergic reaction), severe headache, vomiting, diarrhea, mouth sores, and nose bleeds. I was scared to death than i found this information, for along time I am smoking cigarettes from manufactured in East Europe, I got them online from 2000.cigs fortunately their tobacco manufacturers produce non-fsc cigarettes, they are cheap, they are tasty.
Wow, I found this web sight by searching the internet because I have noticed the same thing but just recently. Keeps going out and the cherry falls off. I knew something was wrong and these complaints convinced me that I am not crazy. I thought that I got a bad batch or something but the last few cartons were the same.

Sdalton912 - I agree! I was on a retreat, I was bumming smokes for awhile until my Salem 100's arrived from a friend. I was smoking Marlboro red 100's. One drag, big deep drag like I take with my Salem's and I inhaled deeply in my way, and I got an instant sore throat. The smoke was harsh, hot, tasteless, and nasty. I would rather inhale a cigar, in fact it was like inhaling a cheap, thin cigar. I never liked Marlboros anyway, but I never remembered them to be that bad. Later that day, I bummed a Marlboro light short, and I got a nasty headache and nausea. Now since I was temporarily bumming smokes, "beggars can't be choosers". But I would quit smoking if the only cigarettes available were Marlboros, and I love to smoke either Salem 100's, Newport 100's, or B & H Menthol 100's full flavor. In my opinion, they are using "wet tobacco", and hanging it in the drying silos way to long, so It stales off. They are probably spraying it with too much ammonia to increase the nicotine release. But I have learned that nicotine has a property that will stop headaches. I don'y know, but people have been hospitalized from smoking these new Marlboros. Switch brands until they start getting more feedback. I recommend Winston 100''s full flavor, which are a good fresh, smooth smoke for non-menthol smokers. They use fine tobaccos, and are made my R.J. Reynolds, and company that produce Salem brands. Or go ahead and just try a pack of Salem 100's green label, full flavor. You won't be disappointed! Buy for now, I would stay away from the big Reds if I were you as well as their nasty light partners in the evil white pack. God, I hate Marlboros!
Good Luck!
In the moment the raised the price and the Marlboro Red smells and taste like [censor].
I think its the FSC, and here in Egypt they didnt print the FSC logo on the box, I have a terrible caugh now and will change marlboro red for sure after 20 years of smoking it.
I have just come back from Sharm El Sheikh and bought back Malboro Lights from my hotel which have the health warnings on which taste like they are laced with something... They really hit the back of the throat and taste rather disgusting. I was warned that the ones without the health warnings are from China and a hell of a lot cheaper, so i stayed well clear of those ones. However when I was at the airport I bought a couple of cartons which don't have a health warning picture just arabic writing, these taste a little better. Does anyone agree? Which are the original Malboro's in Egypt?

Hi
I'm complaining regarding the new Marlboro (ultra light) in Egypt, i spoke 2 packs a day but i got a serious problem, with all of it.
The cigarette is not glued around the filter properly, and it's leaking air in like hell.
And I mean all of it
Thanks and hope u do something about it

terrible quality product!
I have been having issues with Marlboro cigarettes for years and it seems to be getting worse. I bought a carton of Marlboro Lights on a cruise ship in October of 2000. The quality was not what I expected, it felt like I was drawing on a down pillow. Absolutely felt nothing in my mouth or my throat. Not only that but they made me slightly light headed, and produced an extremely mild headache, albeit short lived. (until the next one). I also noticed it left a peculiar taste, or sensation on my tongue, as if I had just smoked a menthol.
I spoke with Marlboro customer service and I was told that these particular cigarettes were manufactured for over seas sales, and that the quality and paper colors were different, not quite to the standards of the states. I then switched to Marlboro because I got no satisfaction from the lights and I was always leary of buying cigarettes for fear of obtaining inferior packs.
Well this is still happening today with Marlboro. I buy and toss out cartons because of the same reasons I listed above. I know it is not just me. It seems that whenever they have a campaign with promotional materials sealed in the back of the packages, or the "If you want to quit" promotions, the cigarettes are fine, and are what I expect.
But as soon as the promotion is over, the market is then flooded with the cigarettes that have no taste, can not feel them when you draw on them, or inhale. Same light headedness, same light headache. It is a crap shoot when I go to the store. The people at my local stores think I am nuts when I ask to see the back of the packs, then ask them to see if they have cartons with the same product code as is on the bottom of the pack, should they be one of the promotional packs that is.
Believe me I can tell the difference between these cigarettes. I would offer myself to you if you think I cannot.
I am angry and frustrated and want a good cigarette. But I am stuck with these lousy ones until the next promotion.
HOW ABOUT YOU TRY NOT SMOKING CIGARETTES!
OF COURSE THEY TASTE BAD, THEY ARE POISON...DUH...
bad cigarettes!
I have been smoking Marlboro Cigarettes for 14 years and the last month all the packs of Marlboro Smooths and Menthol lights in 100's have been bad. The cigarettes have been going out in the middle of smoking them for no reason. Pluse the cherry is falling off of the cigarette in the middle of smoking it. I have never had this problem before it is very weird. This is very annoying and has burnt wholes in closes and my couch. This is happening to the packs my husband has been purchaseing also. You just sit there holding the cigarette and the next thing you know the cherry has fallen off and is on the cough or burning your pants. Plus the whole go to take a drag off the cigarette and nothing cause it has gone out while you are sitting there holding it. Is there something that can be done to stop this why is it happening. I don't want to change cigarette's but if this keeps happening i may have to try something different cause it is costing me money very annoying.
I bought 2 cartons of Marlboro Black/ Red 100 every time i smoke I have to relight several I am ready to change brands. I have burn hole in my couch and carpet over that, You have changed something in the way its made
I smoke Marlboro Red Label 100's and my husband smokes Marlboro Black Label Kings and we both are having the same issues. I have smoked a variety of Marlboros and have found that all of them have these issues. The 3 main issues we have are:
1.) The Cherry always falls off near the end of the cigarette and sometimes even the middle.
2.) The cigarette randomly goes out for no reason.
3.) There have been sticks and/or tears and cuts through the paper making some cigarettes unsmokable.
Now I understand that that issue #2 ( randomly goes out) is to help prevent fires by making the cigarettes go out when not being continuously smoked but this does not work all the time and even when it is being continuously smoked they tend to go out anyway.
Issue # 1 (cherries falling off) is my biggest complaint because considering they are trying to help prevent accidental fires, the cherries falling off defeats that purpose and causes more accidental fires, burns, and holes in clothing, furniture, etc. So whats the point? Every Marlboro does this every time it gets near the end so its not a fluke or it only happens sometimes. It happens EVERY TIME. This is irritating and costly.
Issue #3 (stick, tears, holes, cuts, etc) I have found these issues in more than 1 pack of cigarettes recently. I have even had a pack that had 3 cigarettes with tears in the paper that looked like they were cut by a razor blade and in the same pack I had 2 cigarettes with tears due to big sticks in the cigarettes. What happened to the quality? Where is quality control? As much as a pack of Marlboros cost every single cigarette should be smokable period. When I pay for a pack of 20 cigarettes I want to smoke ALL 20.
These are my biggest complaints and I'm sure there are tons of smokers who can relate and feel the same way as I do.
Please get your $**t together Marlboro! It is not a lack of funds that is preventing you to put out quality cigarettes.
Very disappointed. Have been smoking Malboro and beyond since the get go and have come across cigarettes without the bubble! Not Malboro quality and for a hefty price!
I Purchese one carton of Marlboro Light 100 Soft pack Carton from Publix Fl.

I sent coupon for two cartons of Marlboro to fifteen friends and I want my coupon for the two free cartons of Marlboro I posted to Facebook and sent the ad to fifteen friends
It is very unfair that they promote a campaign wherein products are available, but the products are out of stock or unavailable for more than half the time the promotion is running. Very discouraging.
I have been smoking Marlboro for quite a while now and i have never experienced such an bad product before. I bought a carton and found that some of my cigarettes are not glued correctly at the filter end which makes it quite impossible to smoke. Please have this complaint look after I found that there's a few of these complaints
Thanks
Marlboro gold beyond ice ball not changing taste. This has been quite frequent. Not happy with drop in quality.
I bought a packet of Marlboro gold . When I opened it the filter of two cigarettes were damaged sort of broken.
Terrible quality product!
My husband and I have been buying Marlboro Light 100's for about 12 years now. And we have noticed the last carton we bought, the cigarettes don't burn right, you have to light the cigarettes at least four times just to get through one. We are very disappointed in this and will not be purchasing Marlboro's anymore.
My husband and I have smoked Marlboro Lights for years. The cost became outrageous here in Texas. So, we added nicotine replacements to cut back. This worked for awhile, but we decided to cut more costs by switching to Marlboro Light Special Selects. About three days after the switch we both got sick. We thought it was a coincidence and kept smoking the cheaper cigarettes. It seemed to get worse. The plhegm in our lungs was horrible. Hacking yucky stuff! We had never had an issue with this before. Recently, we purchased a new vehicle and decided to cut back smoking even further by not smoking during drives. Our smoking was cut in half, throughout the day. Immediate improvement with our lung phlegm, but still there we never had this issue before with the more expensive Lights. Just curious if anyone else is noticing adverse effects from the cheap alternative? And why are Special Selects so much cheaper?
So when I switch to them I had way more problems I switched back immediately. I literally just noticed that Marlboro ultra lights are burning really really fast and that's how I came across this post. Like literally in the last couple weeks. July 15th as of today even my wife that doesn't smoke but two cigarettes a year. How fast they were burning and how many more cigarettes I've been smoking recently. Almost like they aren't packed as tight or the filter has more holes in them or something making them burn really really fast and they're really really expensive so they keep burning so fast we're going to be broke! Quitting is not an option I've tried everything been smoking since I was 12ish. Puffing cigars before that every time we went fishing. Keep the bugs away air quotations""""!
I have had loose stool more than twice a day and coughing since the new FSC [censored]ty taste
Why on earth is everyone freaking out? Ive burned my finger on several occasions, while drunk ofcourse, forgetting that I had a lit cigarette in my hand. I just wish they could find a solution to prohibit lighting the wrong end of a marlboro light when your drunk. But seriously, was it this bad when they changed the 1960's marlboro red colors to the less of a cherry red to a brighter red in the mid to late 70's? Is it that big of a deal people? You still get your nicotine, that we obviously and desperately need. Would anyone have noticed if it weren't on the pack or if we wouldn't have been told? Probably not. You wouldve just sucked harder. If you don't like it, switch. But the other companies are all going to follow suit if this little plan sticks. So, shut up, light up, and suck harder to keep your preciouse little life line lit, I know I will. Have a great day and thank you for smoking.
bought 3 cartons of unsmokable marlboros".
80$ a carton and if their tring to deliberately kill people quickly why pick on the working man?i been smoking over 20 yrs. and never had this happen before ive been shopping all over but getting the same thing, (1)one cigerette stomache ... If i dont find my regular marlboro like very soon 1-2 days im going to another country. Sick of paying for you to give me a stomache
I understand why they put fire ###ent so they go out quickly, i've smoked them without incident.but since end of january ive tested like 10 cartons all the same get me a regular pack of cigerettes or heads will roll.oh yea my coworkers agree too its not just me their are 30 welders at this plant and the cigerettes are either tasteless or they give an emedit stomache .
I bought a pack of Marlboro's special blend lights and the whole pack of cigarettes tasted awful.. Like a chemical taste that made me light headed.. I stopped trying to see if they were all like that after a few cigarettes.. The box that held the smokes was perfectly sealed properly so i don't know why they tasted so awful..
purchase the deal in early february have not receive the goods
the receipt no is [protected] can you please help
thank you Sheree Lobb
I smoke Marlboro brand cigarettes and pay the high price to do so. I am very disappointed lately with the quality . The tobacco is loose the paper it's rolled with is not sealed tight which causes the tobacco to fall out or burn poorly. I pay to much for this product to be defective and this is not just one occurrence! It's repeatedly happening and the company needs to be aware.. For this quality I might as well roll my own! Very unhappy!
I Have been smoking Marlboro 100 for 27 years and have never had any problems, but that last carton I got the cig had holes poke in them so I thought you might light to know.

ruined carton of cigarettes!
Hello i have been a smoker for 7 years, and a user of Marlboro 100's for a few years. I recently purchased a carton of Marlboro 100's while passing through Delware. After smoking the first two packs with no problem i noticed the third and forth pack seemed to be unwrapped from there plastic material. Upon further inspection all but the first two and the last two packs of cigarettes had been ruined. The cigarettes were crushed, and discolored, i was quiet upset. I don't know if it is the manufacture or the vendor...
Fire Safty Cirarettes Really Really SUCK. I have smoked Marlboros for forty years and have enjoyed them very much. But since they changed I have thought about quiting.I enjoy smoking very much and hope you can tell me were I might still be able to buy the normal brand. My email is gpw4850@aol.com Thank you Gerald Wheeler age 59
FSC CIGARETTES SUCK...REVOLT AGAINST OUR LIBERAL SOCIALISTIC GOVERNMENT.

half empty cigarettes
My complaint is from a consumer point of view. I recently purchased a pack of Marlboro mediums and over half of the cigarettes in it were short on tobacco. One was over a quarter of the way empty. I have been a Marlboro smoker for 12 years and don't want to smoke anything else but this has happened a couple of times to me now. Is there anything that can be done about this to make it right? Thank you.
Lütfen Türkiye'deki Bayinizin sözleşmesini iptal edin ve Türkiye'deki fabrikayı kapatın. Sigaralarınız çok kötü. Biz İsveç üretimi ithal marlboro sigaralarını içmek istiyoruz. Saygılar..
i buy this as its the cheapest in leicester uk. but there always big sticks in which mush weigh a lot . i buy 1 a week i have a collection , so its not the real weight,i cannot roll a big stick it breaks papers .can you stop putting 1 stick in every pouch please/
bought a carton of marlboro blacks red from Murphys Gas station at 1801 elizabethtown road leitchfield , kentucky 42754. After smoking 2 packs noticed that filter and cigarette was hard to get inhaled. after inspection small holes in filter.
The fact that you can only input 30 codes a month is pretty shady. It's like they only want you to spend them on coupons for more cigarettes
Almost every box in my carton was defective
I just bought a pack and had no lettering on the ciggs and tasted funky I have pictures and video of it.the store of lake flower mobil didnt give me a receipt.i work at McDonald's next door i went over there on break around 830 9 pm on september 6th they shoukd have the camers footage if i neet to oull it
Found a black lump of something in my tobacco don't know what it is but feels a little sticky
I ordered 2 stickers for 1000 points each and only received 1. Is there anything I can do to get that sticker?
On July 31, 2023, I had redeemed 13,200 points for the otter box power bank. I have been checking everyday for it to come in and nothing. I tracked it and it showed it was delivered on Sat Aug 5th, 2023.
It was not delivered on the date stated to my address. I have not received this item I ordered, order # [protected]
I ordered a Roku device in July 2023 but when I looked at my order it says this device is from 2019?!?! I have tried installing on my tv and of course it keeps saying that it needs an update but I get an error. So I guess I just lost 18000 points.

Been fine while still smoking the non fsc cigarettes till about a year ago when I couldn’t get em overseas since then o have consistently been getting sicker and tightness in my chest I never had gotten this before with the non fsc cigs I’m only 40 and in good shape I do think they are hiding what they put in these and are way more toxic than the old non fsc smokes
I smoke Marlboro Special Select Shorts Gold Pack, Every cigarette I smoke I have to relight 4 or 5 times as I'm smoking it if I sit it in the ashtray they burn up every time seems like the opposite of what the fsc is suppose to do doesn't make any sense I hate these Fsc cigarettes it gets old relighting a cigarette I'm smoking but if you sit it down its burns up
same here
I've seen more people die from smoking more in the past 10 years than ever..And I MEAN EVER! It's because of the "FSC" cigarettes. I know this is a fact for I've seen it with my own eyes. The fda or anyone can argue how there has been less home fires due to the fsc change but more people are dying from smoking than in any house fire etc. My point is underatood im sure. I may feel like I'm wasting my precious time saying anything at all because look at all the complaints...has anything changed? Has there been any impact on anyone who's behind the fsc cigarettes? I say NO! Yet, here I am, like the rest of the unhappy smokers complaining and complaining, trying to get my point heard and taken seriously...as if "WE" the masses voices matter! Everyone has a voice, we all should be heard so listen up. TIME FOR A CHANGE, TIME TO MOVE YOUR LAZY CORPORATE MONEY LOVING ONLY BUTTS AND CHANGE FOR WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT. You can love money all you want but know that money stays when we die can't buy nothing in the afterlife. Point to rhis rant of mine is make the cigarettes the way they used to be before the fsc.
I have been a Marlboro Light smoker for 16 years. I can't stand this what is it going to take to go back to the regular cigarettes? I will not continue to smoke this brand. There are others out there that don't have the FSC yet. Come on they are taking our rights away to smoke in bars, don't come with another stupid idea.
If they are trying to save people from burning down their house then they should stop selling Kerosene heaters and things like that in the winter. I'm sick of this stuff.
Get rid of Fire safe cigarettes. Cigarettes are bad enough and got addicted about 50 yrs ago, but now to put extra harmful chemicals on them is even worse. GET RID OF THIS. WE ARE CHOOSING TO SMOKE AND IT IS NOT FAIR FOR YOU TO PUT ADDED UNKNOWN CHEMICALS ONTO IT.
I recently purchased a carton of cigarettes. I opened a couple of packs from the carton to find that some of the cigarettes in each pack were broken and had discolored cigarette paper. Needless to say I was very disappointed. I have purchased the same cigarettes in the pasted and haven't had a problem before. But this time, it was a different story.
The government is full of S..t! The best thing anyone can do is quit smoking. Find the way to quit, your life is more important than smoking toxic cigarettes. It is absolutely crazy for anyone to keep smoking this crap especially knowing what is in them. I quit, the hell with them, I feel so much better now. If they won't agree to ridding the cigarettes of that carpet glue, then STOP smoking their poison. Go to vapor cigarettes until you can quit for good!
I just bought a carton of cigarettes and when I opened the first pack there was a beetle in it that had been eating the filter of one of the cigarettes. This makes me weary of smoking the whole pack.
I bought a pack of Marlboro Gold Beyond. I popped the mentholated bubble and it still tastes like a normal cigarette. I only smoke menthol this is disheartening and disappointing as it's the only brand I smoke.
I just sent a complaint about all of this on Saturday and thought I would do research and found this. I had a flu shot and phemomia shot this year and thought I have been coming down with bronchitis and ear infection. The dropping cherries are so dangerous. I have been smoking about 35 years and never burnt anything until lately. I have a hole in my couch, two in carpet, clothes, chair and now sick. Very angry with out government.
