Cigarette Safety

Every three days someone dies from a fire caused by a cigarette. Cigarettes can burn at temperatures of over 700oC.

  • Take extra care smoking if you're drowsy, taking prescription drugs or if you have been drinking. It's too easy to fall asleep and not notice that a cigarette is still burning.
  • Don't smoke in bed. It's too easy to fall asleep and set bedding on fire.
  • Always use proper ashtrays.
  • Make sure when you put out a cigeratte, it is really out.
  • Take responsibility and keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children
