Humber Alliance on Tobacco

Making non-smoking the norm

HALT is a multi agency partnership with a holistic approach to tackling the public health issues of tobacco

Every year in the UK, 100 people lose their lives and 1000 people are injured in house fires caused by smoking.

Just a few simple precautions can prevent this type of fire

• Never smoke in bed
• Never leave a lit cigarette lying around
• Always use a proper ashtray and make sure it can't be knocked over
• Take extra care when you're tired or have been drinking
• Keep matches and cigarette lighters out of sight and reach of children
• Make sure your home has a working smoke alarm on each floor
