New Orleans 100\% Smoke-Free Workplaces, Including Bars and Casinos
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, support 100\% smoke-free workplaces in New Orleans, including bars and casinos. No one should have to put their health at risk just to earn a paycheck or to enjoy Louisiana culture.
Approximately 690 Louisianans die each year from exposure to secondhand smoke.
Musicians, bar and casino workers involuntarily inhale enough secondhand smoke every day to suffer some of the same negative health effects as pack-a-day smokers.
Research shows that 17\% fewer heart attacks occur in cities with smoking bans in public places.
Almost 80\% of Louisianans do not smoke. Non-smokers are the majority and it makes sense to accomodate them.
Studies show that Smoke-Free laws have no adverse economic impact.
We appreciate your attention to this matter.

I think smoking should get limited in New Orleans, specifically into smoking shelters instead of pure public.

I just moved home from Colorado and can't believe how limited I am on places to work. I developed Asthma as a adult primairily because of working in smoky bars.

Second-hand smoke kills! It's also miserable to be around. Make bars smoke-free!

My Mother had emphysema and it is a disease that I hope we can prevent in others. The way that I knew she had passed away was when she was lying peacefully in her bed, no longer struggling to catch a breath of air. Please make New Orleans workplaces com
