E-Cigarette Backing From The U.s. Fire Administration, Fema, And Department Of Homeland Security

At 28 years old, (and smoker for 10 years) I was experiencing a "shortness of breath" along with "smoker's cough." It was time to start taking care of my body. That is when I switched to vape (e-cigs) and started feeling better. After 6 months of "vaping" exclusively, this transition (from cigarettes to e-cigs) helped me breathe better. Although it seemed to be helping me "biologically" I also experienced a higher level of productivity in my daily roles. Just then, I realized that e-cigs carry a benefit that is not commonly discussed.

One morning, I was struggling to make it to an appointment on time. I was rushing through my chores, and it hit me. While I was ironing my clothes, I put the e-cig down and continued ironing. There is a fire hazard for non-smokers associated with "regular cigarettes." Just then, I researched some facts. This is what I found:

The #1 cause of house fires is cigarette smoking.. and approximately 1,000 deaths per year are attributed to the same. This information is provided by The U.S. Fire Administration, which is part of FEMA and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

I'd like to know why this/these agencies aren't becoming part of the fight against the FDA's investigations. If I am reducing the risk of burning my family by switching to electronic cigarettes, I think it should be considered in any of the FDA's findings.
