Pack of Cigarettes Explode Tearing Man?s Hand Apart

Sounds like Russian spy stuff. I'm telling you, this is a good time to quit. Give it up now while you still can ... before the comet hits our planet this coming May 25th.

"A pack of cigarettes exploded in a man?s hands in the Russian city of Cheboksary.

The man seized the pack at a bar, went out in the street and opened it. After that, a major explosion tore his hand and another person?s finger apart, Komsomolskaya Pravda reported.

The man identified as Borzov (no first name given) sustained numerous facial injuries. A policeman living in a neighboring house called an ambulance and his colleagues and started to bandage the victim?s hands. Police found no trace of any explosives at the scene. No reason of this incident has been detected yet.

The paper citing physicians and policemen wrote that a similar incident took place in Cheboksary several years ago.
