Every year, almost 1,000 smokers and non-smokers are killed in home fires caused by cigarettes and other smoking materials. The U.S. Fire Administration is working to help prevent home fire deaths and injuries caused by smoking materials. Fires caused by cigarettes and other smoking materials are preventable.
The Smoking & Home Fires Campaign was launched on January 9, 2008 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Watch the Launch »
The U.S. Fire Administration's Smoking & Home Fires Campaign is proud to partner with the National Fire Protection Association and the Coalition for Fire-Safe Cigarettes to help spread the message about the benefits of fire-safe cigarettes. Fire-safe cigarettes can help drastically reduce the number of home fires caused by smoking materials because they are less likely to ignite if left unattended.
