Smoke-Free Fort Worth is a grassroots organization made up of concerned citizens, companies and organizations dedicated to eliminating the dangers of toxic secondhand smoke in our community. In 2006, the U.S. Surgeon General’s report presented definitive evidence of the public health problems caused by secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke is linked to cancer, heart disease and respiratory disease in non-smokers. In Texas, 20 cities are smoke-free and many more are considering stronger ordinances.
The time is now. Join Smoke-Free Fort Worth today and help make public places and work places in Fort Worth 100% smoke-free.
