Researchers consider that fire-safe cigarettes can safe the smokers’ life. That’s why they declared that self-extinguishing cigarettes should be introduced in market. Because they could make an impact or even prevent 29% of the nation’s fire deaths, $6 billion in social costs and direct property damage.
Deborah Arnott,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of anti-smoking group Ash,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], declared that these cigarettes would mean a big decline in fire deaths. Statistics show that more than 100 people die in the UK every year from fires caused by cigarettes which are dropped or discarded without being destroyed.
Fire-safe cigarettes, which have barriers of flame-proof paper,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], meaning they burn themselves out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are already the only kind on sale in most US states and in Canada and Australia.
Ms. Arnott explained: “If they will be introduce then basically we should see a big decline in the amounts of smoking-related fires. These fires kill at least one person a day in Europe.”
So, till the people will start to have confidence in fire-safe cigarettes, smokers should practice the following advises for to prevent fires caused by cigarettes:
Use large,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], deep ashtrays that hold the cigarette in the center rather than on the side.
Smoke only when fully alert, and in a standing or sitting position. Recognize that alcohol and some medications can cause somnolence.
Arrange ashes and butts in a metal can with a metal lid. Add water to the can. They can smolder for long periods.
The people’s life is in their hands, concluded researchers.
