Self igniting cigarettes, and make cigars children of cig

[Midaychi]

 

First part of this suggestion is simple: Make thrown cigarettes (either by hand or from mass driver or from pneumatic cannon) self ignite if they contain at least 1 unit of iron on impact with a mob/structure/wall.

 

Make the chance of igniting based on the speed launched; thrown would have a chance of failure while a maxed out overpressured science-augmented pneumatic cannon would probably have a 100% chance.

 

Second part: Make cigars just bigger cigarettes with special requirements to light normally (Ie, as they are now), and make them require at 5 units of iron to ignite on impact.

In return, give them a bigger reagent capacity.

 

 

What this would accomplish: It would improve the versatility of chemistry-based shenanigans, but would make the science department more capable of abusing it then the chemistry department.

Could you have thermite in it and use it to burn a wall down?

damn that would be awesome if a emaged cem machine could make that!

Why emagged? Just dip the cigarette in 14 thermite and 1 iron. Would be neat but would require the cigs to also splat their reagents on lit which they don't do currently.
