Cigarettes A New Safety Standard

Fire chiefs hope a new safety standard on discount OK cigarettes will help save lives across the county.

A recent EU safety standard means cigarettes sold in the UK should have special chemical bands in their structure so that cigarettes go out if not actively smoked.

Councillor Christine Bampton-Smith (Lib Dem, Luddenden Foot), vice-chairwoman of West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority’s Community Safety Committee welcomed the move.
