Dear I~lavvaii County Courlci! Members,
I am writing m sulppoe of the Tobeceo Bill prohrbitioQ ®uking in encbsed areas within
the Couoiy.
As a health care provider, I sec romy of the dca6mea<el el~ote the smoking bee on
poople physically. emotionally, and finsucially. The vests of treeing amokittg-related
diseases iinchtd#rlg asthata, emphyaem., hulg caner, sad heart disease are asgnrtomical!
'4lorc lrnnorteWy, I arouk! lilts to sea ooo-armkers pmteded. Second bend smoke is a
heahh hatstrd in the work place. Each year, second hand smoke amy be respotuible for
about 3000 htng Dancer deaths nnnon-smoking aduNa and an additional 35,000 -111,000
caxs of heart diseax in noa-smokers. Workers and pah~ons ere ptuteded fi»m exposuro
to other health ha~rda ~ the workpLce, why do rove make as exception 8x cigarette
emoke7
I sttwlyly believe thatthenon-smoking population need and deserve the protection that
this bill affords. Piease support the br71 for the health and welfltre of all of us.
S' [y,
