Default An Experiment I Conducted Last Night

I was wondering about the fire safety of cigarettes. I took a piece of printer paper set it on my dest and set a lit cigarette directly on top of it. I let it burn for about 5 minutes and it did very little to the paper. It certainly did not come close to starting a fire.

I found this pretty wild considering that a cigarette was meant to burn yet technology allows it to not start fires very well. It is interesting to notice how it burns in just such a way that it consumes itself without causing much heat around it.

Feel free to comment. Also feel free to conduct your own experiment and share the results.

I once lit a bottle rocket with a blunt while on mushrooms because I didn't think it would happen. It was pointing at my friend cuz I wanted to scare him. Things can start burning from a cherry.

On a side note one guy thought the bottle rocket went in his ear, another guy flipped his chair upside down and remained sitting in it, and I thought I burned off all facial hair holding onto the thing so it didn't go all over my house.

I did the same thing except thing on mushrooms except with a roman candle. Somehow I lit the wrong end and it started shooting the flairs into my chest. I screamed like a little girl.

I have been to two funerals for people who died from fires starting by cigarettes after they fell asleep. This was years ago when many fabrics and upholstery(sp) were much more flammable.

Yes. Do this, and make sure you get drunk and spill booze everywhere first.
