RE:  Smoke-free Genesee County Day, Friday, May 30, 2008    

On April 15, 2008, the Genesee County Board of Commissioners signed a proclamation designating Friday, May 30, 2008 as Smoke-free Genesee County Day in honor of “World No Tobacco Day.”  Smoke-free Genesee County Day is a cooperative effort between the County of Genesee , Genesee County Health Department (GCHD) and the Smoke-free, Multi-Agency, Resource Team (SMART), to raise community awareness of the dangerous health effects of smoking and secondhand smoke. 

On Smoke-free Genesee County Day, local restaurants are encouraged to go 100% smoke-free for the day. Smokers prepared to quit are encouraged to use May 30, 2008 as a quit date and smokers not yet ready to quit are encouraged to protect their children, friends and family members by not exposing them to secondhand smoke.  Free Smoker’s Quit Kits, local stop smoking resources and secondhand smoke information are available by contacting the GCHD.  

Attached please find a list of restaurants participating in Smoke-free Genesee County Day.  To access a complete listing of smoke-free restaurants in Genesee County visit www.gchd.us and click on Smoke-free Dining Guide.
