|
| 7 |
| Sec. 2. The General Assembly finds that tobacco smoke is |
| 8 |
| annoying,
harmful and dangerous to human beings and a hazard to |
| 9 |
| public health. Secondhand tobacco smoke causes at least 65,000 |
| 10 |
| deaths each year from heart disease and lung cancer according |
| 11 |
| to the National Cancer Institute. Secondhand tobacco smoke |
| 12 |
| causes sudden infant death syndrome, low-birth-weight in |
| 13 |
| infants, asthma and exacerbation of asthma, bronchitis and |
| 14 |
| pneumonia in children and adults. Secondhand tobacco smoke is |
| 15 |
| the third leading cause of preventable death in the United |
| 16 |
| States. Illinois workers exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke |
| 17 |
| are at increased risk of premature death. An estimated 1,570 |
| 18 |
| Illinois citizens die each year from exposure to secondhand |
| 19 |
| tobacco smoke.
