Why would tobacco companies not push fire safe cigarettes?

This is mostly for execs at cigarette companies. Why would you not push cigarettes that go out after a period of not being inhaled? Because if they didn't burn so quickly we wouldn't have to buy them so often? I smoke. I also know that truth to cigarette companies is like holy water on, I don't know, Damien from 'The Omen.' Still, I would like some responses. Even from the jerks that are bound to reply because they have nothing better to do. Thanks.

I'm surprised you would think any of those people would be on the net. But when it comes to any production changes, it would cost money. And you know how stingy and corrupt these people are in all the corporations. Hope you get an answer from them, but they pro ably aren't allowed to talk about it, company secrets and all.....LET PEOPLE HAVE THEIR CiGARRETS!

How about inhaling the chemicals necessary to extinguish the cigarette. Tobacco is bad enough by itself, I don't think that chemical additives would help any.

You answered your own question. 'Because if they didn't burn so quickly we wouldn't have to buy them so often.' They are selling a product. If people could buy fewer cigarettes, the tobacco companies wouldn't make as much money.
