Ky. Rural Health Association backs statewide smoking ban

The Kentucky Rural Health Association is asking Kentuckians to contact their legislators and advocate passage of a statewide smoking ban in the 2015 session of the General Assembly.

KRHA Executive Director Tina McCormick writes, “Smoke-free laws have been unmitigated and popular successes here in Kentucky at the local level and virtually everywhere they have been implemented. Comprehensive laws protect everyone equally, achieve nearly universal compliance, and improve air quality and the health of workers almost immediately.” To read McCormick’s article, click here.
