WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

The Smoking Protector is a flame-retardant material protector that can be worn to help prevent injury from a dropped cigarette while smoking. Two widths are available:

  • Standard – 20.5” wide
  • With Side Flaps – 38.5” – This is wide enough to go over the arms of a chair, which will help prevent injury from a cigarette dropped to the outside of the person’s leg.

A lit cigarette may burn at up to 725°F on the side, and 1076°F in the middle.* The material may show scorch marks unless a dropped cigarette is removed within a few seconds.

CLEANING WARNING

Only use and store the product when it is dry.

 

Do not rely on the Smoking Protector to prevent fires. Smoking should only be allowed outdoors. Always keep smoking patients under close observation in case they drop the cigarette.

Do not restrain patients while they are smoking. If they do drop a cigarette between their hip and the side of the chair, it may be necessary to quickly stand them up to retrieve the cigarette.

If the burning tip of a cigarette is held against the Smoking Protector it will burn a hole in the material. We have had reports of some patients deliberately doing this, just to see if the Protectors will catch fire. The Protectors did not catch fire, but there is a possibility of setting fire to the clothes worn under the Protector. We repeat our warning that patients must be supervised when smoking.
