ALL CIGARETTES ==NOW ARE FIRE SAFE CIGARETTES AND HAVE THIS ( Ethylene vinyl acetate) CHEMICAL IN THEM WITCH IS PLASTIC

Ethylene vinyl acetate (also known as EVA) is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. The weight percent vinyl acetate usually varies from 10 to 40%, with the remainder being ethylene.

It is a polymer that approaches elastomeric materials in softness and flexibility, yet can be processed like other thermoplastics. The material has good clarity and gloss, barrier properties, low-temperature toughness, stress-crack resistance, hot-melt adhesive water proof properties, and resistance to UV radiation. EVA has little or no odor and is competitive with rubber and vinyl products in many electrical applications.
[edit] Applications

Hot melt adhesives, hot glue sticks, are usually made from EVA, usually with additives like wax and resin. EVA is also used as a clinginess-enhancing additive in plastic wraps.

EVA is also used in biomedical engineering applications as a drug delivery device. The polymer is dissolved in an organic solvent (e.g., methylene chloride). Powdered drug and filler (typically an inert sugar) are added to the liquid solution and rapidly mixed to obtain a homogeneous mixture. The drug-filler-polymer mixture is then cast into a mold at -80 degrees and freeze dried until solid. These devices are used in drug delivery research to slowly release a compound over time. While the polymer is not biodegradable within the body, it is quite inert and causes little or no reaction following implantation.

EVA is one of the materials popularly known as 'expanded rubber' or 'foam rubber'. EVA foam is used as padding in equipment for various sports such as ski boots, hockey, boxing, mixed martial arts, wakeboard boots, waterski boots, and fishing rods. It is typically used as a shock absorber in sports shoes, for example. In addition, because of its buoyancy, EVA has made its way into non-traditional products such as floating eyewear. It is also used in the photovoltaics industry as an encapsulation material for silicon cells in the manufacture of photovoltaic modules. EVA slippers and sandals are nowadays very popular because of its properties like light weight, easy to mold, odorless, glossy finish, and cheaper compared to natural rubber. In fishing rods, it is used to construct handles on the rod-butt end. EVA can be used as a substitute for cork in many applications.

EVA emulsions are polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) copolymers based on vinyl acetate (VAM) internally plastized with vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE). PVAc copolymer are adhesives used in packaging, textile, bookbinding for bonding plastic films, metal surfaces, coated paper.
[edit] Use

EVA is used in orthotics, fire safe cigarettes, surfboard and skimboard traction pads, and for the manufacturing of some artificial flowers. It is also used as a clinginess-enhancing additive in plastic wraps, a cold flow improver for diesel fuel and a separater in HEPA filters. EVA is easily cut from sheets and molded to shape. It is also used to make thermoplastic mouthguards that soften in boiling water for a user specific fit.

I was unaware of the new additive until 2+ months and multiple bouts with illnesses later.

I thought they were doing someting to our cigarettes when I had to keep relighting again and again........ then someone told me there wa plastic in them ! I think they should have some type of warning on the label ...I think I will roll my own !!

I think fsc is a way for the government to make cigarettes as 'dangerous' or 'unsafe' for us as they claim.

The government is way to involved in my personal life. Whatever happened to freedom and personal responsibilty? If anything we, the American people, need to be a whole lot more directly involved with the micro and macro managing of our so called democratic government.

I don't like that the goverment can dictate, what I put in my lungs. Whatever they use should be off no harm. like a food substance

The FSC cigarettes are more dangerous than a cigarette ever was to health. Cigarette smokers are going to start dying off fast now. Even non smokers should be afraid when our government starts putting known carcinogens in our products. Water is killing us already, and most don't know it. Floride hardens teeth and bones. When you get old your teeth chip away and your bones break easy. Hot Glue will just seal your lungs sacs and you can't breath.
