The coalitions that passed these laws believe that these cigarettes would limit the number of cigarette fire deaths. Though this law was passed in 2004, the number of deaths caused by fires from cigarettes hasn’t been greatly reduced, but complaints from smokers all over the U.S have multiplied. Symptoms include: Nausea, sores in mouth and throat, dry throat, constant headaches, extreme co...
