So there was fire up in Farmington, MN which caused up to $1 million in damage at the American Legion up there. Investigators have concluded that the fire was caused by a man who was too much of weather weiney to go outside and huddle up with the rest of the smokers (rapidly become a fine tradition in the brutal arctic winters of Minnesota).
Now, here's the question I have: Minnesota (along with other states) have required the manufacture of supposedly 'fire safe' cigarettes that go out very easily- thus preventing the apparently many, many fires that are caused by abandoned lit cigarettes. (Interestingly enough, these supposedly 'fire safe' cigarettes require you to inhale a lot more just to keep 'em lit. Thus exposing you to more nicotine, I'd imagine...)
But anyway- so a $1 million fire was caused by a cigarette dropped into an air duct. So... what kind of cig was it? The supposedly fire safe kind? Or just a regular cancer stick?
