Better to burn out than to… burn the house down

New legislation in Canada requires cigarettes to self-extinguish when left unattended, to cut back on the number of accidental fires caused by smoking.

Normally, I’m not in favour of overprotective legislation, but this seems like a good idea. Some smokers are complaining that they’ll have to relight the cigarettes when they go out, but it seems like a small price to pay to avoid worrying about falling asleep with a lit cigarette and causing a fire.
