New Year. Fresh Beginnings.
NNPH encourages bars and establishments to go 100% smoke-free for your customers, staff, and business.

Why go smoke-free?
✅There is no safe level of secondhand smoke exposure
✅Smoke-free environments protect health and support employee well-being
✅Tobacco smoke leaves behind toxic residue that clings to walls, furniture, and HVAC systems—increasing cleaning and maintenance costs and lowering property value
