Cigarette Suspected in Cruise Ship Fire
AP reports that “A fire apparently started by a cigarette spread smoke through a cruise ship in the Caribbean early Thursday, killing an American, injuring 11 other people and damaging about 150 cabins.”
We all know what’s coming: A call to ban smoking on cruise ships. Or, perhaps, the Caribbean.

I’d just as soon the offending cigarette be put on trial and put to death.

We may be jumping to conclusions here.
CNN is not reporting it was a cigarette that started the fire.
The fire apparently started on an outside balcony, and is still under investigation.

I wonder what medical school Mr. Pererkin attended. When all else fails and no one has a clue, the blame is always put on Cigarettes.
Looks to me like there is a little CYA going on here
