Guess the fact that, "Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, and May Complicate Pregnancy" and "Cigarette Smoke Contains Carbon Monoxide." is now invalid? Yes, these are on the side of cigarette packs. Must be referring to the paper and not really the smoke. <br>As the smoke in a typical house fire is exponentially worse than cigarette smoke (hydrochloric acid, sulfur dioxide, ammonia and carbon dioxide, and toxins, including hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide) how can this be good for FF's? This is a perfect case of a city trying to avoid paying money by hiring a single firm to tell it what it wanted to hear.</p>bpayneMon, 20 Apr 2009 15:36:23 -0000
