Greenville (SC) Votes Unanimously for Clean Indoor Air
Last Monday, the Greenville (South Carolina) City Council voted unanimously in
favor of legislation to make workplaces, including restaurants and bars,
smokefree. The law, which goes into effect on January 1, also eliminates
smoking within 10 feet of building entrances.
"ALL workers deserve a safe, healthy, smokefree work environment," says Joe
Cherner, president of SmokeFree Educational Services, Inc. "No worker should
have to breathe tobacco smoke pollution to hold a job, because it causes cancer,
respiratory illness, and heart disease."
Greenville joins a growing list of southern cities going smokefree, including
Louisville (KY), Cottonwood (AL), and Gainseville (GA).

world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead
