Recently, a lot of attention in the media has been devoted towards smoking and the environment, particularly in the area of second-hand smoke. Mesa has been a front runner in this argument and has already implemented ordinance to prohibit smoking in public areas, much like the policies of California and other states. The Mesa Partnership is committed to the reduction of second-hand smoking risk. When you consider the situation, it is just plain unfair to put others at risk for your addiction. It violates the basic American code that you may do what you want as long as it doesn't harm others. Below is a group of links that will further clear up any questions you may have that relate to second-hand smoke, smoking and the environment, and the Mesa Partnership's Healthy Homes campaign.
