Cigarettes stay alight primarily due to the combustion of tobacco, which contains a mix of organic compounds that ignite easily. The presence of additives like humectants, which retain moisture, and accelerants, which promote burning, also contribute to maintaining the flame. Additionally, the airflow through the cigarette helps sustain the burning process by supplying oxygen, essential for combustion.
