Denver Council Bill 374 is scheduled for vote on Monday, Aug. 18. This bill would make the sidewalks around hospitals free of second-hand smoke and safe for people to go to and from City hospitals.

Please contact Denver City Council members by Monday August 18th, and

1.  ask  them to support Council Bill 374 (Councilwoman Boigon's ordinance) prohibiting smoking on public right-of-ways (sidewalks) adjoining hospitals with the sunset amendment,

2. tell them the importance of protecting people from secondhand smoke, especially that brief exposure to secondhand smoke can negatively affect vulnerable populations (sick people, people with asthma, heart disease, breathing problems, etc).

3. tell them this is an issue of health and protecting people from exposure to secondhand smoke to prevent acute respiratory and cardiac illness, not  property owner rights.
