Daily Outtakes: No Smoking

Florida Health Department in Escambia County congratulated the City of Pensacola for making its parks tobacco-free.

Press Release: Tobacco Free Florida in Escambia County congratulates the City of Pensacola on adopting a tobacco-free park ordinance. This new policy will protect our children’s health, support tobacco users who want to quit and keep our community clean.

Tobacco-free spaces support our community in many ways. They improve health by providing fewer opportunities for youth to start smoking, and reduce secondhand smoke exposure.These policies also help lower cigarette litter,[iv] encourage people to make healthy choices and increase quit attempts.

If you’re interested in these benefits for your organization, Tobacco Free Florida can help. Contact Tobacco Free Florida in Escambia County to learn more, at 850-316-2758.

Next Step: Anti-vaping campaign is needed in Escambia County Public Schools, as its use increases in area high schools.
