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.
Smoking Kills
I bet he’s thinking now seems like a good time to stop smoking. Maybe he should import some electronic cigarettes.
He was caught taking a break so the boss spiked his cigarette’s!
Taste just like friend chicken.
FINGER-LICKIN.GOOD.
I like meaty wet explosions but not this type of explosion!
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!
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.
Exploding cancer-stick!
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!
Surgeon General’s Warning: Smoking China quality cigarettes may cause cancer, explosions, or both.
This brand should be sold in america. That way it be will have no reason to keep smoking….
I really can’t get enough of these stories… seriously.
Smoking kills.
Not by lung cancer…
But by blowing the shit out of your face.
It’s like they make everything with firecrackers.
I’m starting to suspect there’s some organised group involved all over china. It’s members are employed in all kinds of industrial jobs, and they mixing explosive material in all kinds of products they are making.
And one day, when almost every concrete wall and every pen will have a dose of explosive mixed in, they will take all of the china hostage in their political game
Michael Bay much visit China quite often.
Are they sure it wasn’t Bugs Bunny that supplied this man with ciggerettes. Maybe this is China’s way of stopping people smoking…..

Yo dawg, I heard you like explosions, so I smoked a China in China so I could explode while my smoke explodes.
I guess the only thing in China that doesn’t explode are their bombs.
This is how the Chinese government helps its people to quit smoking. No need for scary pictures or warnings.
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.
This is like some Loony Tunes stuff right here. Except in real life, people get injured…
I feel bad for the guy.
Ok, they really need to look into this explosions.
Great even exploding cigarettes?
Last time I saw that happen was in Mad Magazine, about 25 years ago.
Now the question is, where can I procure myself a box of those explosive cigarettes.
That’ll teach you for smoking.
That face said : “Bitch Please !!!”
So…China’s the place where the Looney Tunes get most of their stuff?
China Cigarettes now have a nicotine rating and a black powder precentage rating.
WTF…did they sell cigars or mini dynamites??
it seems china is trying to outdo us in the exploding smokables department
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.
Is there anything in China that does not explode?
Explosives, of course
“Exploding” tag should be added
More like “Authorities are said to be raking in the corrupt money to quickly make this go away.”
At least in this country, they only TAX the frak out of cigs to try to force people to quit.
Conspiracy. Most likely to use on others.
Guess the Tobacco factory was sharing space with the fireworks factor.
It must be those novelty cigarettes.
“If it doesn’t explode it ain’t worth it”
I always said that smoking kills
That’s one hell of a way to kick your smoking habit.
Ya know what? The entire Chinese region is made out of gunpowder, rockets, and even liquid explosives. So let’s just stay away from China.
Suck it! BOOM Baby!
Smoking, now even worst for your health than ever before.
If only the AIR would explode in China…
China at its finest…. the worst country in the galaxy LOL!
Glad to hear that as a Chinese, I thought it suppose to be the worst country in the universe. Some little green people out there must be running a even worse country.
and here i am smoking a Electronic Cigarette that i bought from china while reading this… should i be consern
WTF did they use in the cigarette roll, gunpowder? Shit man I don’t see how tobacco can explode. Only in china…only in china.
obviously, it wasn’t a cigarette he was smoking, it was a mini-dynamite. this is china after all.
We got news of watermelon exploding. Why so surprised?
Maybe they dilute tobacco with sawdust? It’s not explosive, but violently flammable.
I thought it would be someone having the battery explode in the newer e-cigs… But packed tobacco in a paper roll, with maybe a fiberglass or plant fiber filter? I can’t even imagine how that would explode by accident. It had to have been tampered with, maybe at the factory or something… I’m really curious if they saved the blown cig and analyzed it
It must be a way to quit somking
just their anti-smoking campaign using what they do best, explodes..
I already saw that on Gintama
That’s the last straw. I’m cancelling my order for the set of Chinese buttplugs.
I’d still recommend the Chinese baby carriage.
Smoking is bad for your health. Here is the proof.
i’d argue that exploding has a slightly worse effect on one’s health..
All according to plan…
No but really… Living in China must be like living in one of Mickael Bay’s movies but without the Transformers and/or a story.
Did you watch the same Transformers as the rest of us did? What story?
Implying Michael Bay’s movies ever had Transformers. Or a story.
Oh China, you so volatile~
he must’ve switched his pack with James Bond accidently.
Wow this give a whole new meaning to “smoking is bad for you”.
Smoking kills… albeit I do admit didn’t think quite so quickly. I suppose that may be one way to discourage smoking. Probably not though
In China they put powder to everything.
Now those Bugs Bunny cartoons won’t be so funny to this guy.
Could have been worse he’s lucky he didn’t have it in his mouth when it exploded.
Dunno, his face looks a little singed (mainly around his lips/under his nose). Considering how cigs are lit, I’d say there’s a good chance he did have it near his face and it just wasn’t blown off cause his fingers took the brunt of the explosion.
At this rate even the hospital beds and the bandages will explode.
Nothing is safe!
this summer, “China : a true story” by Michael Bay
I am Chinese and I approve of this movie.
Please stop! stop!! I cannot stopping laughing!
Michael Bay should go to China and explode himself.
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.
quick fund it for the LOLs!
I LOL’d right upon seeing the article’s headline in RSS feed.
so exploding sewers, watermelons, coins and now cigarettes…
EXPLOSIVE TRUCKS AND CHAIRS~~
and toilets too
forgot the chairs. it all started with the chairs
Dont forget toilets
I know for a fact that Artefact was shaking with anticipation as he came up with that title.
“Smoking is bad for you.”
Myth Confirmed.
bullshit
this just makes me wanna start smoking
the bliss of setting china on fire and inhaling the smoke sounds so overwhelming my head could burst
totally like the macho sound of it, but i’ll stick to my usual cuban stuff 🙂
I love the smell of tobacco. I don’t smoke myself though.
I don’t know what explosions are worse this or the Middle East.
And here I thought the recent exploding joke comments about everything coming from China (even cosplayers) were exaggerating…
LOL the link points to a blog named “chinaexplosion”. They even made a cute mascot… what’s her name, Baku-tan?
I’m not gonna lie; this is what I thought of when I first read the title.

For I minute I though they were talking about exploding porcelain.
Yeah, I had a “yo’ Dawg” comment ready and everything…
also, I’m going to go with “The cigarette had Gunpowder as an ingredient”
I thought the country China exploded.
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 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.
golly gee, such classy shrapnels 🙂
That shrapnel has a sexy waist.
Same here.
But before that, I thought they were wiped off the map.
that’s what i was hoping for. I’d love to see them manage to pull that off.
“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…
Let’s play what will explode next!
Exploding chinese penises, jerks then it explodes in another man’s face!!
