Euroland Lower Ignition Propensity Cigarette Mandate
A new law in the European Union requires all manufactured cigarettes to be "Lower Ignition Propensity" (LIP) by November 14. These cigarettes feature rings of a "natural substance" that causes them to self-extinguish if not actively smoked. The hosts express concern over the unknown chemical nature of the fire retardant and view it as an example of overreaching government regulation.
