Getting Involved
It's easy to support

|
Get
the facts about the risks of tobacco smoke exposure
and understand your right to breathe
clean air. The CDC web site provides an excellent
overview.
Make
a commitment to patronize smoke-free businesses.
Be sure to thank them for protecting your health.
Please visit our smoke-free
dining page.
Stand
up! Tell your friends, neighbors and co-workers that you
proudly support a smoke-free Monongalia County.
Add your name to our Community Support page. Just send an email to support@smokefreemonc.org. We'll include a link to your business or organization web site.
