"The following fact sheets and infographic are free to download and use to educate the public on these topics:  

 Health Risks of Secondhand Smoke and Aerosols – Fast facts about health risks of secondhand tobacco smoke, secondhand marijuana (cannabis) smoke, and secondhand e-cigarette (vape) aerosol.

 Importance of Smokefree Policies - Key points about benefits, expansion and implementation of smokefree policies. 

 Be a Good Neighbor:  Respect Smoke- and Vape-free Zones - Infographic with helpful reminders about where not to smoke and vape.

Resources to quit smoking and vaping are available. 

These new outreach materials address both secondhand tobacco smoke (e.g., from traditional combustible cigarettes), and secondhand aerosol from e-cigarettes and other devices, as well as secondhand marijuana smoke.  

Recent years have seen the growth in use of e-cigarettes and marijuana products.
