Don't Be Burned by Smoking

Smokers are seven times more likely than non-smokers to experience house fires. Thursday, November 17, is the Great American Smokeout, and OEM encourages New Yorkers to help prevent house fires by following advice from the U.S. Fire Administration.

• If you smoke, do it outside.
• Make sure disposed cigarettes and ashes are completely out.
• Never smoke in a home where an oxygen tank is used.
