The Smoke-Free Movement
THANK THESE SENATORS
For people who understand the facts about secondhand smoke, the vote yesterday by the Illinois Senate to make Illinois smoke free is a no-brainer. But we can't lose sight of the fact that our opponents are devoting vast resources toward pressuring legislators to vote against public health.

Thank you to all of the courageous Senators who had the backbone to stand up for what is right! We, non-smoker's, are the MAJORITY. It is about time that Illinois join the rest of the country. Coming from South Florida, where it is non-smoking, I can attest to the fact that the restaurants, bars & clubs are doing just fine. Illinois will not turn into a ghost "town" just because a few smoker's decide to stay home in their garage to smoke their habit. It is everyone's RIGHT to breathe in clean air. Thank you, thank you!
