Immediate Release: August 9, 2007

The movement toward smoke-free restaurants is now moving forward with the force of a freight train and the new video, "Going Smoke Free! Healthy Environment: Healthy Business" provides updated facts and restaurateur testimonials on how to prepare for this inevitable change.
 
Merely two years ago, just a handful of states and cities had smoke-free laws. Today, well over half of the nation's population lives in areas that have passed laws requiring smoke-free restaurants and bars. Public approval ratings of this change are high!
 
The scientific evidence has been amassing just as quickly. "Initial fears of economic disaster and business destruction have been proven to be unfounded," says Kids Involuntarily Inhaling Secondhand Smoke's (KIISS) President Paul McIntyre. Scores of studies on secondhand smoke have borne out conclusions as to its dangers, culminating in the Surgeon General's 2006 release of a groundbreaking report detailing secondhand smoke's indisputable and serious health consequences. With the danger of smoke-filled workplaces no longer debatable, legal liability is becoming a bigger issue than ever.
