Indiana Campaign For Smokefree Air
Secondhand smoke exposure in enclosed workplaces is a well-proven and preventable
health hazard that causes heart disease, lung cancer, respiratory disease and other
illnesses it kills around 50,000 each year.
Hoosiers deserve protection from this hazard in workplaces and
enclosed public places. Everybody deserves the right to a smokefree workplace and
no one should have to choose between their health or a paycheck.
Indiana Campaign for Smokefree Air is committed to protecting all workers from exposure
to secondhand smoke by working toward the adoption of a comprehensive smokefree
workplace law that covers ALL workplaces.

*MEDIA ALERT
Casino Workers Face Toxic Conditions
A new report from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
shows workers in Las Vegas casinos are exposed to dangerous levels of secondhand
smoke at work. NIOSH recommends making casinos 100% smokefree to ensure indoor air
within casinos is safe for workers to breathe. Researchers found secondhand smoke
components in the air including nicotine, 4-vinyl pyridine, solanesol, benzene, toluene,
p-dichlorormethane, and formaldehyde.
The NIOSH report authors concluded that the “best means of eliminating workplace
exposure to [secondhand smoke] is to ban all smoking in the casinos.”
