Fighting For Air: Secondhand Smoke in Casinos

Roswell Park and Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights (ANR) Foundation have produced a new 8 minute video to highlight casino workers' struggle for smokefree air. Casino workers are still dying from secondhand smoke and are too often viewed as an expendable compromise. This video helps to put a human face on this issue, and we hope it will help raise awareness of this public health tragedy. There will be additional versions produced that include interviews from policymakers, casino workers from other areas, and tribal representatives, as well as a short version that may be particularly useful for town hall meetings or other events. We want to share this initial version now so coalitions can begin considering opportunities for using it as part of their smokefree advocacy efforts. Please check it out and let us know what you think by clicking here.
