A few days ago, I met with Kelly Fairman and Sir Ken Knight of the London Fire & Emergency Planning Authority. They visited me at NFPA headquarters to talk about their efforts to get fire-safe cigarettes throughout the European Union and to get an update on our Coalition's progress here in North America. It's estimated that 1,300 lives could be saved across the European Union's 25 states each year if fire-safe cigarettes were made available. And heading up the efforts is a group called the EU RIP (Reduced Ignition Propensity) Alliance, which is pushing for new legislation to introduce a RIP standard for cigarettes. "This standard has already been shown to work in the United Stated and Canada, and could mean a big fall in the number of domestic fires if it was introduced in the UK and across the European Union," says Sir Knight. "Far too many people still die or are seriously injured every year in avoidable fires involving cigarettes. As far as fire and rescue service is concerned, the sooner the new standard comes in, the better.”[ Back to top ]
