In the Winter 2010 issue of Fire Findings
Smokers may not like them, but fire-safe cigarettes made us jump for joy at the chance to do more testing in one of our favorite areas. After lighting up 150 times, our staff investigator, Daniel Schuh, sheds light on just how "fire-safe" the cigarettes might be and how they may or may not ignite nearby combustibles.
Take a look at the rest of the Winter 2010 issue…
