What is Citizens for a Smoke-free Goodhue County?
Citizens for a Smoke-free Goodhue County is a group of concerned citizens from all parts of our county who believe that everyone deserves smoke-free air at work. This is an important public health issue that we all should be aware of.
We originally advocated for a county smoke-free ordinance. We were strong supporters of the Freedom to Breathe Act. We continue to work to educate the public about the health dangers of secondhand smoke and to advocate for smoke-free air.
We can't take smoke-free air for granted. A number of attempts were made in the legislature this year to weaken the health protection we all worked so hard for. You can help to keep the air smoke-free by adding your name to our mailing list. Click here to add your name to our list.
