Videos aim to educate policymakers about smoke-free laws

With a statewide smoking ban proposed in the legislature, which reconvenes next week, and local ordinances still being proposed and passed, the Kentucky Center for Smoke-Free Policy has produced eight video vignettes to help educate policy makers and leaders about communities that have gone smoke-free.

"Seeing and hearing first-hand experiences working with smoke-free laws will help educate other communities who are working towards clean indoor air for the workers and patrons in their communities," said Ellen Hahn, director of the center at the University of Kentucky. "Everyone deserves to breathe clean air."

The video vignettes feature officials from Floyd County, Clark County, Glasgow, Bardstown (right) and Radcliff. The vignettes were produced by UK College of Nursing faculty, students and staff. To view the videos, click here.
