"Last year in a historic move, the state of New York passed the very first cigarette fire safety standard"

About this Quote

This quote by Ed Markey is referring to the state of New York passing the very first cigarette fire safety criterion in 2019. This standard was a significant turning point in the fight against cigarette-related fires, which are among the leading reasons for fire-related deaths in the United States. The new criterion needs cigarettes to be self-extinguishing, meaning that they will go out by themselves if left ignored. This will certainly aid to reduce the variety of fires triggered by cigarettes, in addition to the variety of fatalities and also injuries connected with them. The brand-new criterion is a major progression in securing the general public from the risks of cigarette-related fires, and also it is a testimony to the dedication of the state of New York to public safety and security.
