The NAHF is helping to promote this new campaign in an effort to decrease the number of home fires which are smkoing related. These fires are all preventable and kill approximately 1,000 people every year. This new campaign aims to reduce the number of fire deaths among smokers and those who live with them.

We are urging smokers to Put it Out. All the Way. Every Time
