Smoking
Smoking
There are three serious house fires a week in Lancashire caused by smoking materials.
Do not smoke in bed. You could easily fall asleep and the cigarette may ignite the bed.
Make sure all cigarettes are out and ashtrays are cooled before emptying into a bin.
If drinking alcohol or taking prescription drugs, take extra care when smoking. It’s so easy to fall asleep and not notice that a cigarette is still burning.
Keep matches and lighters out of reach of children.
Keep your lit cigarette or cigar with you at all times.
