DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cigarette-attributable fires caused 10,130 deaths in the United States from 1990 to 1999. Recently-enacted laws in New York State (effective 28 June 2004) and Canada (effective 1 October 2005) regulate the ignition propensity of cigarettes, requiring that the majority of tested cigarettes self-extinguish when left unattended. The goal of the proposed study is to expand the science base on the regulation of cigarette fire risks through a program of transdisciplinary research that would rigorously evaluate the policy and its potential intended and unintended consequences. We propose five interrelated studies to investigate the effects of low ignition propensity (LIP) legislation on fire incidence, cigarette design, smoker behaviors, and toxin exposures. Aim 1 will examine the incidence of fires in NY, Massachusetts (MA), and Ontario (ON) before and after the implementations of LIP laws in NY and ON, allowing for both pre-post comparisons within sites, and contemporaneous comparisons between sites. Aim 2 will survey 1,800 smokers across the three sites above to determine their perceptions of their cigarettes, smoking behaviors, fire precautionary practices, experiences with cigarette-related fires, and beliefs about LIP laws. Aim 3 will examine the smoking topography and toxin exposures of 60 smokers each in NY, MA, and ON to determine if LIP cigarettes alter smoking behavior or exposure to smoke toxins (CO, NNAL, PAHs). Aim 4 will examine changes in cigarette design (blend, tobacco weight, circumference, ventilation, paper citrate, paper porosity, rod moisture) due to the LIP laws, and whether these changes significantly affect ignition propensity or thermal performance. Aim 5 will examine tobacco industry documents and patents on LIP cigarette designs, with the goal of developing a LIP cigarette documents and patents collection and examine trends in technology. Taken together, these studies comprise a comprehensive evaluation of the potential impacts of this harm-reduction policy, which will inform policymakers in other jurisdictions considering similar regulations.

描述（由申请人提供）：从1990年到1999年，美国的烟火造成10,130人死亡。纽约州最近制定的法律（2004年6月28日）和加拿大（自2005年10月1日生效）调节了卷烟的点火倾向，要求在剩下的毫无疑问的情况下测试过的卷烟的主要性。拟议的研究的目的是通过一项跨学科研究计划扩大对香烟火灾风险的科学基础，该计划将严格评估该政策及其潜在的预期和意外后果。我们提出了五项相互关联的研究，以研究低点火倾向（LIP）立法对火灾发生率，香烟设计，吸烟者行为和毒素暴露的影响。 AIM 1将检查纽约州，马萨诸塞州（MA）和安大略省（ON）的火灾发生率，在纽约州和ON的实施唇部法律之前和之后，允许在站点内进行前比较，以及现场比较。 AIM 2将调查上面三个地点的1,800名吸烟者，以确定他们对香烟，吸烟行为，火灾预防措施，与香烟相关的火灾的经历以及对唇部法律的信念的看法。 AIM 3将检查纽约州纽约州60名吸烟者的吸烟地形和毒素暴露，并确定唇彩是否改变了吸烟行为或暴露于烟毒素（CO，Nalnal，PAHS）。 AIM 4将检查由于唇部定律而引起的香烟设计变化（混合，烟草重量，圆周，通风，柠檬酸盐，纸孔子，杆水分），以及这些变化是否显着影响点火倾向或热性能。 AIM 5将在唇卷烟设计上检查烟草行业文件和专利，目的是开发唇烟文件和专利收集并检查技术的趋势。综上所述，这些研究包括对这项减少危害政策的潜在影响的全面评估，该评估将为考虑类似法规的其他司法管辖区的政策制定者提供信息。
