Cigarette Fire Safety Standard Act

This act sets a fire-safety standard for cigarettes sold within the enacting jurisdiction, requiring that they meet a prescribed performance standard when evaluated under a specified test method. Manufacturers must test their products, retain the resulting test data, certify compliance to the responsible state official, and mark the packaging of certified cigarettes. The act also provides for administration and enforcement by state officials, imposes penalties for violations, and extends its requirements to operators of cigarette-making machines.
