'Fire Safe' Cigarettes Bill Goes To Governor

A "fire safe" cigarettes bill is on Governor Henry's desk for action.

House Bill 3341, by Rep.s Mike Thompson and Joe Dorman, creates the Fire Safety Standard and Firefighter Protection Act.

The bill would require retailers to sell only "fire safe" cigarettes, meaning no cigarettes could be sold in Oklahoma unless they have been tested and certified by the manufacturer and are in compliance with the State Fire Marshal's approved standards for being a fire safe cigarette.
