Protect Montgomery Residents from Secondhand Smoke

PETITION REQUEST
Sign this petition to show that you support smoke-free public spaces in Montgomery, Alabama.
WHY MONTGOMERY NEEDS THIS
Prohibiting smoking, including the use of e-cigarettes, in places like multi-unit housing communities and worksites will benefit YOUR health and safety while saving lives and future healthcare costs for friends and loved ones.
DID YOU KNOW?
- There is NO way to avoid secondhand smoke exposure in public spaces.
- Even brief exposure to secondhand smoke can be harmful to the health of children and adults – it contains more than 7,000 chemicals, including hundreds that are toxic and about 70 that can cause cancer.
- Secondhand smoke causes nearly 34,000 heart disease deaths and more than 7,300 lung cancer deaths among adult nonsmokers in the United States every single year.
YOU DESERVE CLEAN AIR WHERE YOU LIVE, WORK, DINE, AND SHOP
EVERYONE has a right to clean air in public spaces and must be protected from the dangers of secondhand smoke.
To protect and improve the health of people living and working in Montgomery, we must establish more smoke-free multi-unit housing communities, worksites, and public areas. Sign this petition now to let us know you agree that any place where people live, work, dine, and shop needs to be free of secondhand smoking!
