Ahhh - smoke-free air is in!  How nice it is to go to a restaurant, public meeting, football game, etc, in a smokeless atmosphere.

Schools are tobacco free and tobacco, in general, has lost some of its popularity. Still, about 20 percent of adults smoke, and about 90% of them started before they turned 18. We have a ways to go to address the negative health effects of all tobacco products on our county.
