Support clean indoor air rule (Billings Gazette – MT)
June 21, 2017
Since 2005, Montanans have enjoyed breathing clean air at work and in public. It’s time to further protect citizens and improve public health by protecting them from e-cigarette aerosol. On June 21, the board of health will hear public testimony to consider expanding our smoke-free law to ban e-cigarette use where smoking is prohibited. As an American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network volunteer and cancer survivor, I urge them to support this public health rule. There are significant concerns regarding the health effects of e-cigarette aerosol. It’s not harmless and can contain ingredients like metals and nicotine. E-cigarette pose potential risks to non-users through secondhand exposure to toxicants in the aerosol.
