Tobacco Cessation
Our voice was heard !!!!!!!
Washington, D.C.'s smoke free air ordinance took effect on January 1, 2007. The law creates smoke free environments in almost all public places and workplaces including restaurants and bars.
On Tuesday, Jan. 2, the new smoke free workplace law takes effect.
That means you should be able to walk into almost any bar or restaurant in the city and take a deep breath of clean air
The District's smoking ban, modeled closely on New York City's, would apply immediately to all restaurant dining rooms and would be extended to bars, nightclubs, taverns and the bar areas of restaurants in January 2007.
National anti-smoking activists hailed the vote, saying that having the nation's capital go smoke-free carries great symbolic importance. "It puts an exclamation point on what we see as a national trend," said Daniel Smith, vice president of government affairs for the American Cancer Society
The District of Columbia Hygienists' Association is supported the Smoke Free Act along with a number of other concerned state organizations committed to the promotion of health, by writing numerous letters and emails to Mayor Adrian Fenty and endorsements of Councilmember’s.
Respectfully, Tobacco Cessation Liaison
