A man has had his fingers blown off by an exploding “China” brand cigarette, providing the latest evidence of the explosive growth in Chinese product quality.
The Zhejiang province grocer lit up only to have the cigarette explode in his fingers.
Pictures show the man hospitalised with severe injuries to his fingers, with some reports saying his fingers were “blown off” by the force of the explosion.
As a supposed luxury brand, just how the cigarettes attained their explosive properties is not known (similar incidents with cheaper brands now scarcely warrant mention). Authorities are said to be investigating.

this summer, "China : a true story" by Michael Bay
I bet Michael Bay loves China. It's everything he's ever dreamed of.
He doesnt need to hardly take any equipment. Most of his Pyrotechnics are already there XD
Sir, you made my day with that comment. I salute you.
Michael Bay should go to China and explode himself.
quick fund it for the LOLs!
I am Chinese and I approve of this movie.
Please stop! stop!! I cannot stopping laughing!
"China Menaced by Exploding China"
We all knew that this is how it would end.
Resident Evil games always end with an explosion, and since RE6 takes place on China...
For I minute I though they were talking about exploding porcelain.
that's what I came in here hoping for, exploding china would have made my day.
I actually thought it was exploding dishes as well I was like "WTF How?" then I seen it was cigs
Cigarettes instead of porcelain. LIKE THAT MAKES IT ANY BETTER.
cigs instead of porcelain, but question remains: HOW, LOL?!
Well, dishes do explode if you constantly put boiling hot and icy cold liquids in them, one after another, for awhile. The tensions in the ceramic snap, and you get lots of shards sprinkled around.
Same here.
But before that, I thought they were wiped off the map.
I thought the country China exploded.
Yeah, I had a "yo' Dawg" comment ready and everything...
also, I'm going to go with "The cigarette had Gunpowder as an ingredient"
Impurities combust at high temperatures, creating air pockets that pop. There were reports of firecracker cigarettes here in the States too. Nothing extraordinary.
As for exploding porcelain... When I worked summer job at this restaurant years ago, stacks of plates exploded in the washer. It was strong enough to blow the lid open, spew shards all over, and shut the place down. Sounded like a gunshot had gone off out back. No one was hurt though. They said it had something to do with the new batch not responding well to the drying cycle.
a REALLY faulty batch... if the company that makes them skimped on some of the chemicals during the process of mkaing them, internal pressure and tension in the china can accumulate. this is sped up by the continious heating (thus expanding) and cooling down of these plates...
in the worst case scenario, this plate could have exploded when is was served to a guest...
that's what i was hoping for. I'd love to see them manage to pull that off.
golly gee, such classy shrapnels :)
That shrapnel has a sexy waist.
Now those Bugs Bunny cartoons won't be so funny to this guy.
I know for a fact that Artefact was shaking with anticipation as he came up with that title.
"Exploding" tag should be added
China Cigarettes now have a nicotine rating and a black powder precentage rating.
Is there anything in China that does not explode?
Explosives, of course
Great even exploding cigarettes?
Last time I saw that happen was in Mad Magazine, about 25 years ago.
At least in this country, they only TAX the frak out of cigs to try to force people to quit.
Ok, they really need to look into this explosions.
This is like some Loony Tunes stuff right here. Except in real life, people get injured...
I feel bad for the guy.
It must be hard for them to differentiate tobacco and gunpowder..
He should be careful of those bandages around his fingers those might explode too
Looks like China's begun their 'stop smoking' campaign...
China style.
Now the question is, where can I procure myself a box of those explosive cigarettes.
That face said : "Bitch Please !!!"
Smoking is dangerous to your health indeed.
Well fuck - if the guy was scabbing a cigarette its his own fault. For being too cheap to buy his own.
Hell, I used to swap out the filters and put in full sized firecrackers and put the filter back in.
This was for all those cheap bastards who used to scab smokes off of me - back in the day.
Sure your fingers go numb for half an hour. But that is the worst of it.
I only stopped when firecrackers became illegal and unavailable.
WTF...did they sell cigars or mini dynamites??
This is how the Chinese government helps its people to quit smoking. No need for scary pictures or warnings.
it seems china is trying to outdo us in the exploding smokables department
So...China's the place where the Looney Tunes get most of their stuff?
More like "Authorities are said to be raking in the corrupt money to quickly make this go away."
That'll teach you for smoking.
Exploding cancer-stick!
China should put a warning label of "Warning: Exploding Hazard" on all of their cigarette brands. Cancer's too slow, this would give the mint all chainsmokers need. >=)
I hope all cigarettes have exploding features. Really can't stand those shitass smoke in public places.
and I wonder why countries that have territorial disputes with China are concerned..
Should China declare war against another state their forces will be obliterated by exploding military hardware and equipment.
The could deploy their "stealth" J-20s all over the place but that plane will literally disappear from radar screens because they will explode once they go supersonic or when they turn on their radars
TL;DR
LOL at China!
Next thing you know fried chicken in china will be exploding in the mouths of chinese everywhere too.
No more take-out for a month!
