In 2004, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister commissioned research on the comparison of the propensity of fire safer cigarettes and conventional cigarettes to ignite textile materials used in a domestic environment. The report produced was published in 2006, and is available on the DCLG website at: http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/fire/pdf/160414.pdf.
