Freedom To Breath – 2007

2nd & 3rd hand smoke still a problem.

Tobacco Industry continues to create more products to impact our health

Smokeless Tobacco, E-Cigarettes, Flavored products, Chewing Tobacco, etc.

The research is overwhelming - with over 7,000 chemicals, at least 70 of which are cancer-causing, even brief exposure to secondhand smoke is dangerous.
