Cigarette butt thrown from a balcony fell on the rear window a parked Audi, rolled into a crack that could easily cause a fire.
If cigarette smoking did not see pedestrians in time and did not put out, an expensive car would become a torch.
In my house staircases separated from the elevators to get to the stairs, one must go through a review balcony. These reviews balconies with decorative hexagonal openings are located just above the porch entrance. Apparently, these balconies are very attracted fans of cigarettes. Very, you know, "nice" is, dear smokers, when you come out into the street, and right next to you drops a burning cigarette butt!

Absolutely new cigarettes.
The European Commission intends to ban traditional cigarettes across Europe and replace them with tobacco products, which go by themselves.
After 2-3 years, Europe will have a new smoke cigarettes, which go by themselves, if they did not smoke.
The secret of such cigarettes in bars (2 or 3 strips) from nonporous paper as a speed bump: when the fire goes up to these bands he wanted a smoker, to go after them. If cigarettes not smoked, it disappears in 2 minutes.
It is a pleasure with the news! This innovation will save lives, - says the British European Parliament member Arlene McCarthy. It occurs when people come home drunk, or drink at home then fell asleep on the couch with a cigarette in his hand, and then the fire begins to spread. Fireproof cigarettes reduce the risk of such cases.

Taxation
Cigarettes are an important source of tax revenue in many localities. This has historically been an impediment for health groups trying to discourage cigarette smoking, when governments seek to maximize tax revenues. Moreover, some countries have a state cigarette monopoly, which has the same effect on the attitude of government officials outside the health field.In the United States partly determine the rate of cigarette taxes, where the states and tobacco is a farm products tend to least.It cigarette tax has been shown that the higher prices to discourage smoking cigarettes. Every 10 percent increase in the price of cigarettes reduced youth smoking by about seven percent and overall cigarette consumption by about four percent.Thus increased cigarette taxes are proposed as a means of reducing smoking.Many people in Britain now illegally import cigarettes due to the increased tax. A package is less than half price in all other countries, thus, illegal importers a big profit, while still providing very cheap cigarettes. The average price for 20 legal cigarettes is £ 5.20, while imported goods are sold in packs for less than £ 3; this is due to extremely taxation.

Lucky Strike
Introduced in 1853, LUCKY STRIKE is rich in heritage and one of the worlds best-known brands. It was first manufactured cigarette. The mod
ern pack design was designed by Raymond Loewy, creator of Campbells Soup label, Shell Oil logo and many other brand icons. Starting out as a chewing tobacco product, Lucky Strike eventually evolved into a filter-less cigarette.
The brand was introduced by R.A. Patterson of Richmond, Virginia in 1871 as a cut-plug chewing tobacco and later a cigarette. In 1905, the company was acquired by the American Tobacco Company (ATC), Lucky Strike would later prove to be its answer to R.J. Reynolds' Camel, and the popularity of the cigarette began to grow.
In 1917, the brand started using the slogan "It's Toasted", meant to inform consumers about the manufacturing method in which the tobacco is toasted rather than sun-dried. Because of a different manufacturing process, Lucky Strike cigarettes have a unique and distinctive flavour. The message "L.S.M.F.T." ("Lucky Strike means fine tobacco") was introduced on the package in the same year.
While the signature pack for this brand of cigarettes was once dark green, the choice to change it to white came in the early 1940's. This brought about another slogan, which was "Lucky Strike Green has gone to war." The cigarette company made the claim that the change was necessary, due to lack of "copper", which was used to make the green color. It was said that the "copper" was needed for World War II. However, it would later be told, that the cigarette company was trying to appeal to more women by changing the color of the pack. Lucky Strike had been well aware of the fact that many woman did not smoke Lucky Strike and they made a strategic move to try and gain more female customers, and it worked very well for them. In addition, "copper" was not used to make the green in their original package. The cigarette company had successfully found a way to increase sales, while appearing patriotic at the same time, something many American’s loved and in return they purchased this brand of cigarettes more often.
The brand's signature dark green pack was changed to white in 1942. In a famous advertising campaign that used the slogan "Lucky Strike Green has gone to war", the company claimed the change was made because the copper used in the green color was needed for World War II. American Tobacco actually used chromium to produce the green ink, and copper to produce the gold-colored trim. A limited supply of each was available, and substitute materials made the package look drab. Many argue that the white package was introduced not to help the war effort but to lower costs and to increase the appeal of packaging among female smokers.
In 1978 and 1994, export rights and U.S. rights were purchased by Brown & Williamson. In 1996, filtered styles were launched in San Francisco, but it was not until 1999 were they available all over the United States. This cigarette is made with Turkish tobaccos.
The Lucky Strike logo was created by famous industrial designer Raymond Loewy, who also created the logos for Exxon, Shell and Coca Cola. The logo later became a prominent fixture in Pop-era artist Ray Johnson's collages.
Luckies are considered to be one of the Worlds finest cigarettes and have a loyal and faithful following, they also are a topic of an urban legend that was that one of every 20 in a pack was actually a Marijuna joint, not true of course!
Lucky Strike Filters and Lights were discontinued in the US in late 2006. only the non filter ones are still available,Filter and Lights known as "Original Red" and "Original Silver" are being made in Europe and are available on the internet.
Lucky Strike Cigarettes were first introduced as a finished cigarette in 1916 by the American Tobacco Company. Lucky Strike's dark green pack was changed from green to white in 1942. In 1996, filtered Lucky Strike Cigarettes were launched, but it was not until 1999 that they were available all over the United States.

However, they are still marketed and sold in territories that are controlled by British American Tobacco. However, the original, non-filtered Lucky Strike cigarettes are still sold all over the world, including in the United States.
