Dayton Deserves the Right to Breathe Smoke-free Air.

  • Northern Kentucky has among the highest smoking rates in both the region and the nation, and by just living in Northern Kentucky, our neighbors and our children have a higher chance of being diagnosed with and dying from cancer. Dayton can and must do better.
  • 81% of Northern Kentucky voters support smoke-free policies in all workplaces, such as restaurants, bars, and gaming facilities; this also includes e-cigarettes.
  • Everyone deserves to live in cleaner, safer, and healthier communities. Implementing a smoke-free ordinance covering all workplaces and public places would protect everyone's right to breathe clean, smoke-free air.

I urge Dayton lawmakers to implement a smoke-free ordinance to make our town a safer and healthier place to grow up, work, and live.
