Abstract
A cigarette fire extinguishing burnable insert axially disposed within a cigarette comprises an elongated tube connected with a fluid filled reservoir adjacent the filter end of the cigarette. A frangible wall separates the reservoir from the elongated tube. Manually collapsing the cigarette at the reservoir end ruptures the frangible wall and exhausts the liquid through the tube to quench the cigarette fire cone.
