Community Meets to Discuss Status of Statewide Smoke-Free Air

In an effort to educate the community about the dangers of second-hand smoke and the benefits of a statewide smoke-free air law, the Tobacco-Free & Drug-Free Communities Coalition of Winnebago County will hold 2 separate Town Hall meetings on:

Wednesday, March 4 at 5:30pm
Menasha Public Library,
440 First Street
Thursday, March 5 at 5:30pm
Oshkosh Public Library,
106 Washington
Street

The information presented at the Town Hall meeting will explain why a statewide smoke-free law is the only option to protect everyone from the dangers of second-hand smoke, dispel some of the myths about enacting a smoke-free law, and educate community members on ways to help Wisconsin become a smoke-free state.
For more information, please contact Coalition Co-Coordinator, Emily Dieringer at 920-232-3021.
