Maybe your community was struck by a home fire that was caused by cigarettes or other smoking materials. Or perhaps your community has been lucky enough to avoid such a tragedy. The Smoking & Home Fires Campaign by the U.S. Fire Administration works to educate people about how they can prevent home fire deaths and injuries caused by smoking materials. Our key message is: "If you smoke, Put It Out. All the Way. Every Time."



Fires caused by smoking materials affect not only the smoker, but non-smokers as well. Did you know that one-in-four people killed in home fires is not the smoker whose cigarette caused the fire.



Thirty-four percent were children of the smokers.

Twenty-five percent were neighbors or friends of the smokers.
