Our County needs the current smoke-free workplace bill (Draft 3) to c.~ pass as is. To me, it is very simple. Employees (no matter where they n ~ work) have been protected from Asbestos (which is a Class A Carcinogen) for ~ Z ~ several years now. Second-hand smoke is also a Class A Carcinogen. Therefore, shouldn't ALL employees (no matter where they work) be protected ~ C rn from ALL Class A carcinogens? In fact, shouldn't ALL public citizens be protected from Class A carcinogens? If our County passes this bill for ALL -D workplaces, people with disabilities will no longer be discriminated against 3 and smokers would still be welcome everywhere. It's just their smoke that = f-; r'-i would not. S T. N D F-+ Sincerely, _ ~ Shelly Ogata POB 2104 Kea'au, HI 96749 s h e l l yo g a to @ h of m a i l. co m MSN 8 helps eliminate a-mail viruses.
