eli5, why do hand rolled cigarettes put out themselves, but a cigarette from a pack keeps burning?

Question

I had some really hard time phrasing that right but I hope y’all get my point.

If I light up a cigarette from a pack and leave it, it’ll keep burning, but the hand rolled won’t do the same, why?

Answer 1

In hand rolled cigarettes, the choice of rolling paper determines the rate of burn. Some allow the burn to stop immediately, some will keep burning for a minute, some will keep burning until put out.
