All workers have the right to breathe
clean
air regardless of the occupation they choose. Many workers are
protected by smoke-free
policies in the workplace, but bar and restaurant workers stand out as
notably under protected, and bear a heavy health burden from secondhand
smoke exposure.
Regular exposure to secondhand smoke can lead to cardiovascular
problems, respiratory problems, immune system problems, developmental
problems during pregnancy and cancer.
Secondhand smoke has been estimated to result in at least 38,000 annual
deaths in the United States and between 600 and 1,000 annual deaths in
South Carolina.
