Reduced Ignition Propensity is a safety feature incorporated into cigarettes. It stops them from continuing to burn if left unpuffed or unattended. Counterfeit cigarettes do not usually have this safety feature. #IllegalTobacco #FireRisk #ReducedIgnitionPropensity #ProductSafety

You may not think that product safety applies to tobacco but it certainly does. Illegal tobacco could contain any number of additional ingredients that might compromise your health. There are no safeguards on these items. #IllegalTobacco #ProductSafety #DontRiskIt #Health
