Gov. Bev Perdue announced on Thursday, October 29, 2009 the launch of www.SmokeFree.NC.gov, a website to help implement North Carolina’s new law that requires restaurants, bars and lodging establishments that serve food and drink to go smoke-free as of January 2, 2010.
The website, launched by the NC Division of Public Health in collaboration with the NC Association of Local Health Directors, provides business owners and customers information on the new law, on the health hazards of secondhand smoke and on resources to help those smokers who may want to quit smoking. There are downloadable fact sheets, no-smoking signs and other tools to help make the transition to smoke-free air an easy one.
