In 1973, the United States Congress established the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to protect the public from hazardous products. The Boston Herald American covered the story on 31 March 1932, noting that after three years of research the NBS had developed a “self-snubbing” cigarette and had suggested that cigarette manufacturers “take up the idea”. Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers ( D- MA) she called for the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)) to develop the first less fire-prone cigarette, which NBS introduced in 1932. However, Caleb's father, John, proposes that his son delays their separation process for forty days and follow a procedure called "The Love Dare" to make them love each other again.In 1929, a cigarette-ignited fire in Lowell, Massachusetts, caught the attention of U.S. In Albany, the marriage of Caleb and Catherine Holt is in crisis and they decide to divorce.
