about a month ago, i noticed my ciggies were burning out, if i didnt drag on it for awhile...

Then i noticed, Gosh Darn, i have to drag on these things pretty hard...I dont remember ever having to do that and heck, i smoke regular Pall Malls, these are not weak smokes, well, i got a wild hair up my tail and wrote to RJ Reynolds tabacco company, Here is there response:

"Dear Kevin,

Thanks for your email letting us know about your concern with our product.

Your state recently passed a law requiring that all cigarettes be fire standard compliant. To meet these standards, we have changed the cigarette paper used in manufacturing our cigarettes.

There are bands at selected intervals on the cigarette paper that are somewhat heavier than the rest of the paper. These bands slow down the burn rate and increase the likelihood that the cigarette will go out. Although these cigarettes meet the standards established, they should be handled with the same care and attention as any other cigarette.

Cigarette companies must comply with the fire safety standards required by the state legislature in order to sell their products in your state.

We hope this information is helpful and appreciate the opportunity to respond to your concern.
