Smokefree Bloomington
Smokefreebloomington.org provides information on local tobacco cessation classes in Monroe County.
The City of Bloomington's Community Health Programs and Outreach division of the Community and Family Resources Department is a partner in the Monroe Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Coalition. Formed in 2001, this group has been working to prevent and reduce the use of all tobacco products in Monroe County. The Coalition advocates for Smoke Free Air Policoes designed to protect the public health and welfare of the community from health hazards induced by breathing secondhand smoke. With proven links to lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory infections, secondhand smoke exposure is the third leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. killing thousands of nonsmokers every year.
SmokeFreeBloomington.org is a non-profit Website created by the partners of the Coalition to help make Bloomington and Monroe County a healthier community. This site contains information regarding the public health risks of smoking and secondhand smoke, tobacco cessation classes and resources available for you, and other health and educational resources. It contains information on the City of Bloomington, Monroe County, and Indiana University Smoke Free Ordinances, designed to protect the public health and welfare of the community from health hazards induced by breathing secondhand smoke including lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory infections.
