摘要： A cigarette or cigar fire safety apparatus. A fulcrum and a lumped or distributed counterbalancing mass are made integral components of conventional cigarettes and cigars in such a manner that the lighted end of the smoking material is tilted up and out of contact with combustible, essentially horizontal surfaces upon which the lighted materials happen to accidentally be dropped or mistakenly placed. The fulcrum/weighted end combination also reduces the tendency of the cylindrical smoking materials to roll. Furthermore, the fulcrum is collapsable. In another embodiment of the invention, a series of coaxial extensions are placed at various positions along the surface of a cylindrical smoking material whereby the smoking material is kept away from such flammable surfaces by the action of these extensions. As the extensions fall away from the smoking material or are consumed as the combustion process passes their position of attachment, the distance from the surface is maintained or increased until the next to last extension is released from the smoking material. At this point, the lighted end of the smoking material tips up about the last of the extensions which acts as a fulcrum thereby. The placement of the last extension is chosen such that the nonlighted end of the smoking material has greater torque than the remaining lighted poriton. The operation of the present invention is improved if the material between the fulcrum or last extension and the unlighted end of the smoking material does not readily support combustion. The integral design of the invention frees the user from having to remember to install the fire safety device.
