[quote=Anonymous]Many people know that smoking is considered the nation’s leading preventable cause of death.  But it is less widely known that cigarettes also are the leading cause of fatal fires, responsible for about a quarter of all U.S. fire deaths.  Often, the 1,000 victims each year are not just smokers who drifted off to sleep, but children and other innocent bystanders.  Cigarette fires cause close to 1,000 deaths and 3,000 injuries each year in the United States, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).  As the ignition source in fires responsible for over 20% of all fire deaths, cigarettes are the nations largest single cause of such deaths.  Property losses alone are over half a billion dollars.  The economic costs in health care and productivity losses, and the human costs of pain and suffering raise total annual costs to an estimated $4 billion dollars.
