Why the focus on restaurants? The Coalition is concerned about any public place where pregnant women and
infants can be exposed to cigarette smoke. We are currently focusing on restaurants because:
- Breathing in second-hand smoke is harmful to pregnant women and infants.
- Second hand smoke can actually cause preterm labor. Premature birth is the leading cause of infant death in our community.
- Second-hand smoke in restaurants that still have a smoking section hurts pregnant workers as well as customers.
