Exploding cigarette man

An Indonesian man lost six teeth when a cigarette exploded in his mouth.

Andi Susanto, a 31-year-old security guard, has been offered $500 compensation by the owners of the Clas Mild cigarette company after a cigarette exploded in his mouth while he was riding his motorcycle.

Andi said: “The company’s officials have talked to my family and we concurred to settle it amicably, as an out-of-court settlement. They will pay all the medical expenses.”

The cause of the explosion remains unknown, but a spokesman for Clas Mild stated there were no plans for a recall.

Iwan Sulistyo, the brand’s marketing chief, said: “We are communicating with the police and still waiting on the forensic laboratory tests. We do not put any strange materials in the cigarettes, so we think that this is a weird case. This is the first time for us.”
