This is the third time in the last month that someone's cigarette killed at least one other person.
Here's a good website for people to read about deaths that result from cigarette fires.

I can't find the 3rd story. Regardless, this kind of stuff enrages me! Just another way cigarettes kill human beings.Annandale Couple Killed By Fire at Longtime Home

An Annandale couple in their eighties died yesterday after fire swept through the brick home they had lived in for more than 40 years.
A neighbor said she and a passing motorist had tried to break into the home to rescue the couple but were unable to get inside.
Fairfax County fire officials said a lighted cigarette was to blame for the blaze, which broke out late yesterday afternoon in a house in the 6500 block of Renwood Lane.
Firefighters found the wife dead on a family room sofa, the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department said. The husband was discovered unconscious in the adjoining living room. . . .
Fire investigators said the blaze was caused by the "inappropriate disposal of smoking materials." They said they were looking into how the cigarette sparked the fire.
