Alcohol is a drug!
Tobacco is a drug!
In the 2006, the Surgeon General report stated:
“There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke”
The 2010 Surgeon General Report took it one step further stating:
“ Any exposure to tobacco smoke – even an occasional cigarette
or exposure to secondhand smoke – is harmful.”
Addiction is a disease!

For each $1.00 invested in evidence based

costs to society, including the costs of
incarceration,
drug-related
crime,
