Fire-Safe Cigarettes
Thursday, July 24, 2008 (GST)

Fires caused by cigarettes kill up to 900 people in the United States each year and total hundreds of millions of dollars in property loss. But action has been taking place throughout our country to cut down on the damage caused by cigarette fires. Fires caused by cigarettes kill up to 900 people in the United States each year and total hundreds of millions of dollars in property loss. But action has been taking place throughout our country to cut down on the damage caused by cigarette fires. In the 1930`s a cigarette with the ability to stop burning on it`s own, was created, but little was done to require tobacco companies to produce the fire-safe smokes. Now 70 years later, dozens of states have passed laws requiring tobacco companies to sell only fire-safe cigarettes and the number is rising. If you pick up a pack of cigarettes in New York, California, or a dozen other states, you may also want to buy an extra lighter. Because chances are you`ll be relighting your cigarettes quite a bit. That`s because the cigarettes sold in those states will stop burning if left unattended, while an ordinary cigarette burns all the way to the butt. They self-extinguish because they`re equipped with two bands of papers that act as speed bumps to slow down the burning process. Dozens of states have passed fire-safe cigarette laws, requiring cigarette manufacturers to produce only self-extinguishing cigarettes within their borders. On May 1, Montana became the 28th state to implement the fire-safe cigarette law, meaning the only packs of smokes being sold in the Big Sky State have the official fire safe cigarette logo imprinted on them. Some residents enjoy the new cigarettes. "They don`t keep burning," says Sharon Feldman, a smoker. "They go out if you lay them down and I myself like the fact that it does because you can come back later and just finish smoking your cigarette." While others find the self extinguishing feature to be a nuisance. "It just goes out and you have to sit there and relight it," says smoker Shawn Gainan. Still everyone we spoke with admitted that the fire safe cigarettes were a good idea. "I have a bad habit of lighting one in one room and then going into another room and lighting another one," says Amber LaBelle. "They do go out." "I think it`s worth it, yeah," adds Gainan. "Anything to put out fires." Fires that have taken lives, destroyed property, and are often preventable. Fire-safe cigarettes are the only type of cigarettes allowed in Canada and all but six states in the U.S. either have similar laws or are working toward similar legislative action. North Dakota is not one of them.
