More Hoosiers will be protected from the dangers of secondhand smoke because of the new statewide smoke-free air policy signed into law by Gov. Mitch Daniels. Indiana moves closer to becoming a smoke-free state.

At the bill signing ceremony in his Statehouse office, Daniels thanked the lawmakers who had fought for passage; legislation exempts bars and casinos.

If smoking in public is truly a health hazard, then why should bars be exempted? The mere presence of alcohol does not lessen the dangers in any way. Bars should be the first places to be required to be smoke-free. The staff and entertainers that work in bars usually don’t have health insurance.

Words from Take Note. “I am a non-smoking bartender. It is the only job that I could find close to my home. I do enjoy seeing people and socializing. PLEASE, pass the no-smoking law in Indiana. DO NOT back down to the bar and tavern owners; they are blinded by the idea that they will lose their businesses. They won’t; people are there to drink and socialize and will continue to do so even those that smoke. Please Help Me Save My Life. Thank You Harry!!!!!

This week the Indianapolis City Council adopted Proposal 18 to expand the city’s smoke-free air policy to include all bars and restaurants. This would be a huge step forward for Indianapolis employees and sports fans. However, Mayor Greg Ballard has threatened to veto the bill. Stay tuned for more information.

The City-County Council passed a stronger smoking ban covering most bars Monday night, but the mayor's opposition to one key provision could keep it from becoming law.

Many people believe they are allergic to to***co smoke. The truth is that no one really is allergic to ci******es or cigar smoke. To***co smoke is technically not an allergen, but it does contain over 4,000 chemicals and 70 of those are cancer cause agents. Many people suffer an allergy-like reaction to one or more of these chemicals. The key to avoiding this problem is to stay away from to***co smoke. It can be deadly.

On Monday night, the Indianapolis City-County Council will consider a smoke-free air ordinance to make most workplaces smoke-free. This ordinance will close most of the loopholes in the current ordinance and protect more workers from the health hazards of secondhand smoke. Indy will benefit financially and physically from a new smoke-free air policy.
