California is the Mecca of Non-Smokers
In 1994, California became the first state to bar smoking in the workplace. Now, more than 10 years later, it has set another healthy precedent. Yesterday, a Californian agency voted to classify second-hand tobacco smoke as a "toxic air contaminant." This decision is long overdue if you take one look at the 599 accepted ingredients for cigarettes. Hopefully this move will result in ways to reduce exposure to second-hand smoke across the state and eventually the nation.
