🚭✨ Today we’re taking a stand against Big Tobacco for National Take Down Tobacco Day! Let’s unite for a tobacco-free future! Did you know Bellevue has a smoke-free ordinance that prohibits smoking, including e-cigarettes, in all enclosed areas of public places and workplaces? Effective May 15, 2023, this includes places where the public is invited or permitted, such as offices, hotels, factories, churches, bars, restaurants, bingo halls, bowling alleys, and stores. The ordinance aims to reduce tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke. What does a tobacco-free future mean to you?
