Municipal leaders in NYS counties of Albany, Rensselaer and Schenectady: Keep butts away from where we play!

Municipal leaders in NYS counties of Albany, Rensselaer and Schenectady: Keep butts away from where we play!

The Issue

New York State Capital Region youth deserve healthy spaces to run, play and just be kids.

Exposure to secondhand smoke harms health and can even have immediate health consequences for many children.

Tobacco litter is toxic to children, pets, wildlife and the environment and cigarette butts are the most littered item in the world.

Exposure to adult tobacco use, especially in family-friendly places, may increase the chances that young people will start using tobacco themselves.

Please add your voice in support of the Young Lungs at Play campaign to make public playgrounds and recreational areas tobacco-free.
