Reinforcement of the 2005 Smokefree Air Act

-->

 Our example of public health is a sign hanging in The Grill’s (restaurant located downtown) window that states smoking is prohibited. It clearly hangs by the door in which people enter. This is an example of public health because they are concerned about the non-smokers who do not wish to be around smoke, especially while eating, but also for people walking passed their store, so their customers won’t have to worry about breathing in any second hand smoke. We chose this example because it shows that the Smokefree Air Act of 2005 is being reinforced. It is important for others to consider this example because not all restaurants have a sign posting that they are smoke-free, they just assume people know, but out of state tourist might not be aware. This is also important because it protects people, like ourselves, from dealing with the negative aspects of smoking.
