Getting Involved

It's easy to support a smoke-free environment in Monongalia County.  Here are some things you can do:

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 and our smoke-free entertainment 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.

Here are some Sample Speaking and Writing Points and Tips for Writing Letters courtesy of Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights.  You might find them helpful.
   
Contact your local Board of Health representatives and tell them you support a smoke-free environment.  The mailing address is 453 Van Voorhis Road, Morgantown, WV 26505.  Or send them an email by filling out  the web form.  

Attend a Board of Health meeting and tell the Board in person.  Meetings are held the last Thursday of the odd numbered months at 9:00 am at the Health Department.

Wear our "I Support Smoke Free Air" sticker at Board of Health meetings. (We'll be happy to give you one.)  A visible show of support will speak for itself -- even if you don't say a word.   

Write a letter to the editor of the Dominion Post.  The address is Opinions, The Dominion Post, 1251 Earl L. Core Road, Morgantown, WV 26505-6298. Or email your comments to opinion@dominionpost.com.

Write a letter to the editor of the Daily Athenaeum at 284 Prospect Street, Morgantown, WV 26506, or email daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu.
