Home/apartment fires due to cigarettes on the rise in Toronto

[BreSha6869]

I am suprised to see a renewed focus on home fires started by cigarettes in Toronto. As of yesterday, there have been 30 home fires caused by cigarettes. I don't think I have heard of ONE ecig related "home fire" in Toronto. The odd burned leg or carpet MAYBE and we know the majority of those are due to user error.

Good and bad as I hate to see anyone injured or lose possessions in any kind of fire but it is nice to see stories highlighting the dangers of smoking in general instead of bashing the "dangers" of vaping.

Those are balcony fires they're fussing about. Back when people (or apartment owners) didn't ban smoking in their apartments, these were rarities. The ....-tossers were housebroken, but apparently they're not outdoors-broken.
