Does anybody's Fire&Water Safe smell or get damp? We have the BRINKS Fire & Water safes and put random papers in there, pictures, special envelopes.

Envelopes are cold and damp and really bendy. It's really weird- cuz they are designed to keep water out, and it's like they're wet. Any ideas? Oh yeah, and the stack of pictures in there are getting stuck together. Nothing tearing or visibly sticking them together, but I have to pull them apart.

What is the chemical used to make "fire-safe" cigarrettes? In 3 states, including CA where I live, they have tanted the paper of cigarrettes with a chemical to cause it to go out if not puffed on regularly. This is to prevent the old fall -asleep-with-a smoke-lit-and-set-the-house-onfire type of deal. The only thing is, the chemical makes you sick and stays on your tongue like battery acid. Ya, no need to comment, those who say just quit. Please, that's obvious, just want to know what the hell they're poisoning us with.

Still, I would like some responses. Even from the jerks that are bound to reply because they have nothing better to do. Thanks. Actually Lordkel... saltpeter is one of the biggest chemicals in cigarettes that cause them to burn so fast. They would need to leave that out, and not add anything to cause it to burn slower
