And Then It All Blew Up In My Face, Literally!

And Then It All Blew Up In My Face, Literally!In Indonesia, a 31-year-old man was riding across town on his motorcycle when the cigarette he was smoking exploded in his mouth. The blast caused six of his teeth to blow out and extensive damage to his lip that resulted in fifty one stitches. Authorities are still unsure of what actually caused the blast, but the remains of the cigarette were sent to a forensic laboratory for further testing. The man, who had been smoking since he was a schoolboy and had never had a single problem, has received compensation of $535 and the full cost of his medical bills. After the whole ordeal, he now vows to quit smoking for good.

    You won’t see “might explode in face” on the surgeon general’s warning!

    well that’s certainly one way to make a person quit.

    Maybe it was a kamikaze exploding death fly? He was riding his motorcycle after all. I’m sure he’s slaughtered many flies while on the road.

    This might be the government’s way of getting us all to stop smoking.

    I think this is really funny actually. If only I could get one with less … harmful explosives. That might get my uncle to quit.

    umm 51 stitches were they just on his face? because i imagine he crashed afterwards. i’m pretty sure that would make me quit too.

    I’ve smoked for several years every so often when I’m smoking and its quiet and I can hear the paper burning I can hear a subtle explosion as the ‘cherry’ hits a spot which has a concerntrait of the chemical ‘Potassium Nitrate’ (what keeps the cigarette burning) and Its a bit of a stretch of the imagination but its possible that a very high concerntration of potassium nitrate caused his smoke to explode.
