It's Time to Take Tobacco Off the Menu in Ohio!

Can you believe the Ohio Restaurant Association would stoop this low?

They've partnered with Big Tobacco in a dirty tricks campaign to repeal all indoor clean air laws and replace them with a state law allowing smoking in many indoor places.

We all know by now that secondhand smoke is dangerous. According to the National Cancer Institute, secondhand smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, more than 50 of which are known human carcinogens. And CNN recently reported that secondhand smoke kills at least 35,000 non-smokers every year.

Yet the Ohio Restaurant Association is actually trying to amend the state Constitution to guarantee the right to pollute indoor air with smoke – calling it "reasonable" policy. Do you think that forcing customers, children, workers and senior citizens to breathe toxic smoke-filled air is reasonable?

Call on the Ohio Restaurant Association to protect your health. Sign the petition telling Ohio's Restaurant Association that you want the places where people eat, work and socialize to be smoke-free!



Dear Mr. Hetrick,

Your efforts to amend Ohio's constitution to guarantee the right to pollute indoor air with smoke are wrong.

People all over Ohio support the effort to clear the air in bars and restaurants. A SmokeFreeOhio would be good for health and good for businesses. Keep in mind:


  • Polls have shown that 90% of Ohioans would eat out just as often or even more often than they do now if restaurants were smoke-free!

  • Secondhand smoke poses a serious public health crisis, increasing the risk for developing heart disease, cancer, asthma and other serious health problems.

  • Ohioans support SmokeFreeOhio! Nearly 3 of every 4 Ohioans support clean indoor air laws, including almost half of the state's smokers!

I urge you remove yourself from the coalition working to pass a pro-smoking constitutional amendment in Ohio.

Sincerely,
