| Abstract | The ignition strength of 10 brands of Canadian cigarettes was determined in accordance with the ASTM E2187-02b standard test method. Full-length burning of these 10 brands of cigarettes was observed in 95 to 100% of the determinations on 15 layers of filter paper. These high percentages of full-length burns suggest that these cigarettes have a relatively high propensity to ignite upholstered furniture if lit and dropped on soft furnishings, demonstrating the need to make these cigarettes less probable to cause a fire. |
