Thanks for joining me Over Coffee
A writer by passion and profession, I've been writing since I was old enough to know how, so establishing a weblog
seemed a natural progression. By adding a blog to my site, I can speak about my passions and life, share my writing, art
and photos, and comment on current events.
Neither ventilation nor filtration, alone or in combination, can reduce exposure levels of tobacco smoke indoors to levels that are considered acceptable, even in terms of odor, much less health effects.
The evidence demands an immediate, decisive response, to protect the health of all people.
Why go smoke-free? Because...
Second-hand tobacco smoke kills and causes serious illnesses.
100% smoke-free environments fully protect workers and the public from the serious harmful effects of tobacco smoke.
The right to clean air, free from tobacco smoke, is a human right.
Most people in the world are non-smokers and have a right not to be exposed to other people's smoke.
Surveys show that smoking bans are widely supported by both smokers and non-smokers.
Smoke-free environments are good for business, as families with children, most non-smokers and even smokers often prefer to go to smoke-free places.
Smoke-free environments provide the many smokers who want to quit with a strong incentive to cut down or stop smoking altogether.
Smoke-free environments help prevent people – especially the young – from starting to smoke.
Smoke-free environments cost little and they work!
Everyone needs clean air...inside and outside their lungs. If you smoke and won't quit (though I truly hope you'll try), at least be courteous and keep it to yourself. Thank you!
