On a side note only yesterday I watched as a woman pulled into the service station to fill her car up. In her mouth at the time was a cigarette that she was puffing away on. She only realised her utter stupidity as she approached a fuel bowser. :nope:

You need three things to start an accidental fire :

1) Oxygen
2) Combustible
3) An idiot.

Don't forget the ignition device...

I stopped smoking cigarettes about two years ago, I feel much better than I use to, I can finally keep up with my kids. ;)

That man was stupid to light up that cigarette, especially if he had a warning about the cream being inflammable. However, if nobody told him about the danger, those people should be punished. The problem is that we cannot ask him anymore… :nope:

No, he's the triggering device. Idiots can't make spark on their own.

Nasty, reading between the lines it sounds like the hospital are covered - 'It is understood that hospital staff followed the correct procedures and the incident was being treated as a tragic accident.'

I gave up in October (after 20 years) and still get the occasional craving, but it's not too bad.
