Are non fsc cigarettes available now..and will they continue to be available post January, 2010?

I have found with other sites, that the native brands are now containing the additional fire standard component.

Hoping this site has non fsc smokes available..and will continue to provide them...

Best Regards All..

Our own brand of Black Hawk cigarettes is the only non-FSC that we carry. While supplies last, we still have some Native All Natural brand cigarettes that are also non-FSC. These are not stale or old cigarettes. Recently, we ordered a large amount of these before they went FSC.

Please also note that we do not add chemicals, preservatives or flavorings to any of the tobacco used in our products. That's what we mean when we say that our cigarettes are chemical free.

Changes in Federal law now mandates that ALL tobacco companies use Fire-Safe Cigarette paper when producing cigarettes. Fire-Safe Cigarette paper is supposedly made up of a series of speed bumps (alterations in the thickness of the paper). The thicker paper prevents a cigarette from continuing to burn when left unattended.

Whether or not FSC paper is harmful or not has yet to be determined. The official statements put out by lawmakers is that FSC is safe.

Almost all cigarette brands in the United States now use Fire-Safe cigarette paper. For now, the Black Hawk cigarette brand is the only Native American brand not using FSC paper. However, we will eventually be required to follow the same standards as all other tobacco companies.

We don't like it either.

Some smokers think it's the FSC paper that makes the FSCs go out on their own. Some think the companies added more dangerous chemicals into the FSCs. I'm sure this new Federal Law will hurt all tobacco companies in the long term. Since more smokers will look into making their own cigs in order to get non-FSCs. Making your own is the best option if you don't wanna quit smoking and you hate all FSCs.

However, I heard a rumor that the cig tubes people use to make their own cigs will have the fire standard compliant paper.
