Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hi, I just signed this petition to tell Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson to use his influence to make restaurants and other public places smoke-free. http://www.care2.com/go/z/8849/1043 If someone were polluting the air in your local park with arsenic, lead, and DDT, would you be outraged? What if you also knew that this pollution killed at least 40,000 adults and children every year? Well, guess what – every time you breathe in secondhand cigarette smoke, you breathe a toxic soup of more than 4,000 chemical compounds, 69 of which are known or probable human carcinogens, including arsenic, lead, and DDT. Protect your right to breathe clean air – sign this petition to tell Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson to use his influence to make restaurants and other public places smoke-free: http://www.care2.com/go/z/8849/1043 Research has shown that there is no negative impact on restaurant sales or employment from such laws. And, such laws are a tremendous help to the 7 in 10 smokers who want to quit. So, who suffers from these restrictions? The tobacco industry does. Philip Morris’ own research found that prohibiting smoking in the workplace not only reduces consumption but also increases quit rates. Keep our air clean and health - please sign this petition! http://www.care2.com/go/z/8849/1043 Thank you! ~Vegan~Kitten~ (Sheila Rendelman) If animals believed in god, humans would be the devil.
