Suppose a lighted Falls from your band or Ash tray onto a bed or overstuffed chair. The cigarette because it is treated with sodium nitrate to keep it burning does not go out. After you take the first drag the tobacco will Burn and Burn until it consumes itself in 30 to 15 minutes. That s plenty of time for the cigarette to eat through the mattress or u p h o 1 e r y cover igniting the stuffing below. But what if you re sitting in.
