New York State established a Cigarette Fire Safety Program to regulate the fire safety of cigarettes sold in the state. The program requires cigarettes sold to meet certain fire safety performance standards, such as ensuring cigarettes self-extinguish within a specified time period. Manufacturers must test cigarettes and submit certifications to the state confirming the cigarettes meet the performance standards. Over 1,200 cigarette styles from 34 manufacturers have been certified to date. The program also established reporting procedures for cigarette-related fires and penalties for noncompliance.
