Load a regular cig with the necessary flammable
chemicals to
burn from end to filter in about 3 seconds.
Imagine the impressed look on that gal's face when you
choke
down a butt in 3 seconds flat. Amaze your friends, be the
life
of the party. "Spare a smoke buddy?" "Sure can!".
DESIGN
UPDATE: As 8 pointed out this could burn
somebody's fingers and that would make him very sad so
I've improved the design:
This is a variation of the exploding cigarette loads you
can buy. It's a long sparkler style pyro stick you insert
into the cigarette so it's hidden. When lit, it burns
quickly enough to "smoke" the cigarette in a few seconds
but stops before it gets to the target's fingers.
Like so.

The victim was Not Impressed. Everyone else thought it was hilarious. |

The skin on his fingers grew back eventually. |

The chosen oxidiser was a saturated solution of potassium chlorate. The solution was heated to 90 C and dripped onto the cigarette using a pipette; the cigarette itself was kept warm using a small hairdryer and allowed to dry after each drop. When crystals became visible on the outer surface, the ciggie was allowed to dry thoroughly and carefully brushed to remove the evidence before placing it in a packet. |

Never again did the offender casually help himself to someone else's cigarettes. |

I don't remember saying this wouldn't be dangerous, I said it
would be funny. |

Back in the day they used to have exploding cigarettes. This
is slightly kinder and less funny. |

Just checking to see if you can still buy those exploding
cigarette loads. I was delighted to see that you still can. I
was even more delighted to read this review from a
satisfied customer: |

"I thought it would be a fun way to help my husband quit
smoking, let me tell you, these things explode!! As i was
laughing my arse off, my husband was complaining of a
flash burn to his eyes. next time i’ll tell him to wear
safety glasses when i plant one in his pack. I still crack up
when i think about it." |
