Secondhand Smoke: Triumphs & Tragedies [SGR video]

This video features personal testimonials describing the health toll of secondhand smoke in the workplace, and it also showcases a few key communities that have succeeded in implementing comprehensive smokefree workplace ordinances.




The video premiered during the June 2006 press conference of U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona during the release of the landmark Surgeon General's Report, "The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke."

The full report, a webcast of the press conference and related smokefree resources can be found at:

This is a very well choreographed video, demonstrating how secondhand smoke affects, and kills, people who don't even smoke. Glad to see it on YouTube.

Great video, Heather Crowe is a courageous woman who died too young. Rene Hicks is great, I saw her at a FAMRI event and can't remember when I laughed so hard. She turned her personal tragedy around and educates others with laughter.

Hats off to Mike Scanlon for leading by example.
