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.
These fire-safe cigarettes are BS. I've burnt myself more in the last few months than I have after years of smoking. It starts to extinguish, I take a drag and the hot ash falls in my lap. Or if I flick the cig too hard the tip falls off and I have to relight it and then it tastes like crap.

The six states that passed legislation requiring self-extinguishing cigarettes before this year are California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont. These states enacted laws this year: Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas and Utah.
heard that there are made differently and that it was a saftey issue...the UPC code has FSC stamped above it...
I am having the same problem. For about the last two months or so every pack of Marlboro Lights I have bought burns like crap. The cigarette goes out half way through and it feels like I'm not getting any air through them, like as if they do when they are broken and air escapes out the side. It's not like a bad batch or something, because I buy them in Pa and De at various locations. If I can't quit, I'll be switching brands.
I am so glad I found these posts! My fiance, his mother and I all thought we were going crazy! We buy our cigarettes from different stores and are having a hard time keeping them lit. She smokes regular Marlboros, I smoke lights and my fiance smokes Marlboro 100s (Red). When he first told me he was having a problem I teased him about it... then I noticed it was happening to me too. I made a complaint on the Marlboro website. Please I urge everyone to do the same.

I have been smoking Marlboro reds for over 20 years now. During the last five or six years the quality went really bad and is still going from bad to worse. It is very common now that the smell is really awful and cigarettes are filled with tobacco in a very bad way that you almost feel pain when trying to smoke a cigarette - to say nothing with pieces of wood therein which means a very poor quality of tobacco. For some time I had to shift to Marlboro Lights, but that was even worse. I live in Qatar and my complaint is really common here. I just wonder why such a big company would risk a brand that took years and years to be that known. Many people already quit Marlboro for other brands which I did also for some time. It's really strange that I tried to log into Marlboro site to write about that (thinking they would care), but I found out that there is almost no way to file any complaint about quality. I think I may ### to another brand soon and this time it may be for good. Well, just before I go, I'm trying to light a red Marlboro cigarette right now and it just feels like a piece of stone!
I have been smoking Marlboro Lights for quite some time. I have been noticing a couple of things that is really starting to bother me. My cigarette doesn't light right it lights half way most of the time. It goes out very quickly if I don't keep puffing. I am smoking so much more and it just doesn't burn right. I am getting really close to switching to another brand and seeing if it's any better. It's annoying.
I have a complaint about Marlboro reds. The filter papers stains my fingers. From the moisture in my mouth. You should make all your Marlboro products brown filter paper free. So this stops happen every time you smoke. I've tried washing my hands free of the paper die and its still there!
My Husband and I both smoke Marlboro cigarettes. I smoke Marlboro light Menthols and he smokes Marlboro Lights. We buy our cirgarettes from different places and one day my Husband was telling me what was happening to his cigarettes. I was so excited to know that I wasn't going crazy it was happening to somebody else besides me. The 1st incident for both of us was when we were driving. I all of a sudden notice that my cherry was missing and I started to freak out wandering what damage that missing cherry was going to cause. This could have caused me to get into a car accident but I decided whatever damage happens to the car its not worth risking my life over. After that incident I just knew that there was a problem with the cirgarettes. I really want to know what is going on here considering the amount of money we 're spending .
I have noticed the same thing with the marlboro light regular cigarettes and have been smoking them on and off for years. Numerous others I know who smoke them have noticed the same thing and we will all, probably, switch to another brand or... quit like we should!
