My cigarette blew up (seriously)?
I smoke, and yes, it's a bad habit. But this morning i lit a cigarette and was happily looking at my sales site when the lit cigarette in my ash tray exploded. It looks like someone put a "cap" into it. The "cap" would be the type kids use in toy guns. There was nothing else in the ash tray, just the lit cigarette. After the cap went off, it left remnants of a piece of brown/charred paper with a hole in it, just as a toy gun cap would do.
I was wondering if there is anything i can do about this (besides avoiding it in the future by quitting smoking). Can a lab look at the cigarette and determine whether the cap was packed into the cigarette in the manufacturing plant?
I have been thinking about it, and if a person were taking a puff of the cigarette at the time the cap exploded, it could have injured an eye.
I realize this is a strange question, but this actually happened to me. I don't know if there is another section in which i should ask this question instead.
Can someone give me advice? thanks.
I don't have any kids living at home, and i had just opened the pack of cigarettes. I live alone.
Maybe a poltergeist planted the cap? I'm not sure, but thanks for all your answers.

Sounds like someone close to you wants you to quit smoking. I can assure you it did not come from the factory that way. It however is relatively simple for someone to remove some tobacco, place the cap in the cig and then pack some tobacco back on top if they got access to your smokes. Do you have kids? With all the anti-smoking information they are exposed to it would not surprise me if one of them did it to try and get you to quit.

Disgruntled employees have been known to add 'things' to cigarettes and medicine bottles. I would take pictures and also contact the company and advise them. If you don't get positive results you might consider contacting a lawyer but as you were not injured, it's almost like kicking a dead horse.
Maybe rolling your own is a safer bet... but that's an oxymoron I think.

There is a quick burning substance in the cigarette and sometimes there is too much in one spot thus causing the explosive cigarette. Saltpetre is the ingredient that keeps the cigarette lit.

somebody is making a great number of money from protecting marijuana unlawful. The so-referred to as "conflict on drugs" is a real moneymaker and so is the pharmaceutical industry. Legalizing marijuana could create opposition for guy made drugs, especially if persons have been allowed to domesticate it themselves for inner maximum use. to respond to your question, specific, that's relatively surprising from a easy experience and ethical perspective that a plant that grants shown wellbeing advantages is outlawed.

if you believe that no one you love would want you to stop, then take it to a lab and have it analyzed. if you beleive someone loves you enough to want you to stop for the sake of both you AND them, then take it as a sign and STOP.
