Sooo i been feeling like shit lately and had a skin rash a few weeks ago.. Well I found out where it came from. Smoking. So for those on here who smoke wanted to throw out some info. The cigarette companies have started switching to FSC (fire safe cigarettes). if you ever wanted to quit now is the best time. Seriously. They are using harmful chemicals in the papers of the FSC. ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), The combustion toxicity of EVA has not been studied to any extent, but combustion byproducts are known to include carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. This leaves you feeling nauseous, sick, you might feel throat burning and or nose irritation, coughing.
Smoking itself was a stupid idea, i was stupid enough to start, but i did quit then like a fool start again, however I am going to quit completely now. The whole idea for FSC (thats fire safe cigs) are to be self-extinguished to prevent fires..... However they have harmful effects on your health. Gross..
SO anyone who smokes there are 2 ways to find out if your smoking FSC, 1). look on the pack by the barcode for the 3 letters " FSC " and/or light a cig and let it burn. If it goes out on its own, its a nasty harmfull FSC. Also if your "cherry" falls out alot you got you a FSC death stick.
