Smoke Free Minnesota - Public Places

Smoke Free Minnesota

If you are interested in seeing that all public places in Minnesota are smoke free, free of second-hand smoke, here is an address that you can go to and very easily express your wish to Governor Pawlenty. Just enter the address or copy and paste it on your browser and you can send him a message that is ready to go, or you may compose your own message and with a click it will be e mailed to him. If you want more information, click on my ACS CAN site on the left and go to the state of Minnesota.

Each year, 3,000 nonsmoking adults die of lung cancer as a result of breathing secondhand smoke.

Here is the address for sending your message to the the Governor:

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

PS... I just found out today, that the ENTIRE country of FRANCE will be going SMOKE FREE in all public places AND bars in 2008. This really surprises me, as friends who have visited France have told me that that there is a cigarette hanging out of almost everyone's mouth there! They have a high rate of smokers...now how do you suppose they were able to get a Smoke Free bill passed? I find that very interesting, and encouraging for us in the United States! Maybe the tobacco companies haven't spent as much money fighting the laws there, as they do here!
