It's EVA, a carpet glue, that is supposed to make the cigarettes self-extinguish if left unattended.

However, in tests on rodents, it's found to be a highly carcinogenic substance. Side effects of vomiting, headaches and such have also been reported nation wide. So now cigarettes are even more dangerous, this time in the name of "safety".

Almost every state requires this by law.

Yes, however, they are not sold in the United States. Canada still sells them, but stopped exporting to the U.S. when it became manditory to use the fire retardant paper.
