Need help disguising
your smoking?
Mints work well to
hide the smell of cigarettes on your breath.
But they’re not much use on covering up the effects of a house fire
started as a result of cigarettes not being put out properly.
As far as we know, mints can’t rebuild your home, replace
much-loved belongings or bring you or a loved one back to
life.
Statistics show that you are more likely to die in a house fire
caused by cigarettes or smoking materials.
In Avon, almost 60 per cent of people who died in house fires
between January 2009 and February 2010 died in fires started this
way.
One person is one person too many.
We are not here to tell you how to live your life, but we are here
