The citizens of Green River and Rock Springs are enjoying the benefits of clean indoor air. The recently passed ordinances have provided our citizens with decreased exposure to second-hand smoke.
The benefits of this cleaner air include decreased absorption of the harmful chemicals found in second-hand smoke, a decreased number of nonsmokers dying of lung cancer and lower rates of respiratory and ear infections in our children.
Remember, there is no known safe level of exposure to second-hand smoke. I invite the whole of Wyoming to join us for the Great American Smoke Out, Nov. 20. All of Wyoming should benefit from clean indoor air!
