The Importance of Smokefree Air

Exposure to any level of secondhand smoke in any amount, and especially over a long span of time, is dangerous. The brain, heart, and lungs are all affected significantly.

Remind the smoker you’re helping to quit that not just his or her health is at risk, but also the health of loved ones and friends nearby.

"After a week, nicotine leaves your body. After that it’s the “going through the motions” like the first time of not smoking in your car, after a meal, morning coffee, etc. That was the toughest part. I’m going on 2 years now – after smoking for 40."
