About the North Carolina Coalition for Fire-Safe CigarettesOur mission: The North Carolina Fire-Safe Cigarette Coalition is working to save lives and prevent injuries and devastation from cigarette-ignited fires. Our goal: The Coalition is calling on the North Carolina Legislature to pass fire safe cigarette legislation which would direct cigarette manufacturers to immediately produce and market for sale in this state, only cigarettes that adhere to an established cigarette fire safety performance standard. In addition, the Coalition is working to see that these standards for fire-safe cigarettes are required in every state in the country. Our members: North Carolina Fire-Safe Cigarette coalition is composed of fire service members, consumer and disability rights advocates, medical and public health practitioners, and others, who are committed to saving lives and preventing injuries by reducing the threat of cigarette-ignited fires. The Coalition is coordinated by the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center of UNC HealthCare.
