Smoking Safety

  • Never smoke in bed

  • Use a proper ashtray – never a wastepaper basket

  • Make sure your ashtray can’t tip over and is made of a material that won’t burn

  • Don’t leave smoking materials unattended. They can easily fall over and start a fire

  • Take extra care if you smoke when you’re tired, taking prescription drugs, or if you’ve been drinking. You might fall asleep and set your bed or sofa on fire

  • Keep matches and lighters out of children’s reach

  • Consider buying child-resistant lighters and match boxes

Top tip

Stub cigarettes out properly and dispose of them carefully.

Put them out. Right out!

Cigarette advice

Vaping Safety

  • Buy products from reputable dealers

  • Only use chargers designed for use with the specific device. Some chargers may overcharge the product, leading to an increased risk of fire

  • Never leave a vaping device charging unattended, and never leave them charging overnight – especially next to your bed

  • Never use a vaping device close to medical oxygen, flammable emollient creams or airflow mattresses

  • Do not buy counterfeit goods, as batteries and/or chargers are unlikely to have overcurrent protection and could lead to batteries exploding

  • Never modify or adapt personal vaporisers and their associated kit

  • Never use damaged equipment or batteries, fire is not the only risk posed by vaping products and the liquid they contain can be highly toxic
