SMOKING SAFETY

INTRODUCTION

Smoking can kill you very quickly. Overnight, in fact.
More people die in fires caused by smoking than in fires with any other single cause. Why?

Tobacco keeps burning
Tobacco is manufactured to stay alight, especially cigarette tobacco. It can quietly smolder out of sight, starting a slow, deadly fire.

Night time is the killer time
People often smoke late at night when they're tired or have been drinking. They often fall asleep while smoking. Or they don't notice that a cigarette is still burning.
