I think it would be good if smokers, who had to go into hospital for a while, treated it as the first step to stopping! I know it is hard, but it is worth it in the end...... and you will smell better!
You might as well tell people who use face creams with paraffin to cook electric and not stand by a gas cooker (though it does add a whole new angle to sticking your head in the gas oven to top yourself) .. and avoid bonfires on bonfire night.
Loads of modern products are inflammable. I remember reading a quite gruesome story years ago of a woman who had just sprayed her dog with a flea repellent spray, which she believed was safe as she did it by an open back door in her kitchen, and then she went and lit the oven. The poor dog was engulfed, though thankfully survived.

Re: Skin Creams beware of the danger.
The lady I have been visiting in the local hospice is full of cancer and it has spread everywhere now. She also has MS. They have put stents in her chest because she couldn't breathe, and she is on morphine all the time now.She still asks visitors to wheel her outside for a couple of fags, she says it is too late to worry about it now, the damage is done.
She is only 47. I could weep for her when I see her.

The story indicated that he had nipped out for a sly smoke, and maybe somebody would have discouraged him from doing so if they had known the cream was inflammable. There was a time when smoking in hospitals was unheard of, and if it was now,maybe that man would still be alive.

Re: Skin Creams beware of the danger.
These creams are very efficient but I guess card has to be taken, worse I thought they could do was when I applied cream to my husbands legs and feet for him then he got up and slipped on the kitchen floor, that was bad enough three stitches and a huge bruise back of his head !20-03-2017, 04:11 PM

As an aside .. is there paraffin in these Vick vapour rubs too?
I used to have a cute little leopard print cropped top I wore in bed ...
.. until it literally fell into gaping holes. All I could think was it was when I wore it after rubbing my chest with Vick.

If it had set alight you would have known, and probably hurt, but it may be something in the Vick that destroyed the material that it was made from. The last man in my life owned a chemical company, but you know what men are like, never around when you need them.
