What is your state doing to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke?
August 3, 2017
There is no safe level of secondhand smoke. Even brief exposure can cause immediate harm! Each year, secondhand smoke causes nearly 42,000 deaths among nonsmokers, including 7,300 lung cancer deaths.
The best way to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke is to make restaurants, bars, casinos and all workplaces smoke-free. Smoke-free laws reduce exposure to secondhand smoke, encourage adults to quit smoking and reduce medical costs.
Currently, 25 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia have laws ensuring 100 percent smoke-free workplaces, including restaurants and bars. Has your state taken steps to limit secondhand smoke and promote smoke-free workplaces? Find out in ACS CAN's How Do You Measure Up? Report.
