Smoking, Matches, and Lighters

A comment from NFPA President George Miller, "Smoking materials cause more civilian deaths than any other source. We must teach people to handle lighters, matches, and cigarettes cautiously, especially around children."

If you have smokers in your home, you need to watch them carefully. Careless discarding of smoking materials is usually the problem.

Some safety tips:

• Provide deep, sturdy ashtrays
• Empty ashtrays regularly
• Always wet the ashtray contents before disposing
• Check upholstery to make sure there are no smoking materials smoldering
• Never allow smoking in bed
• Keep matches and lighters out of reach of children
• Have smoke detectors installed in your home
