People who smoke often like to do so at
parties, where smokingmay be more
acceptable than in many other places.
Party goers may
discard cigarettes carelessly without looking for a safe ashtray.
Smoldering
cigarettes may be dropped in trash baskets or cans along with paper and other
combustibles.
Cigarettes may
simply be left burning unattended, and end up between the cushions of an
upholstered couch, where they smolder for hours before the couch bursts into
flame.
Smoking while
drinking will increase the likelihood of thesecareless smoking behaviors.
(Bridge)What should you do to reduce the fire risk from smoking, by yourself
and others?
