Paul Knepprath Quotations

In other words, kids who have to wear a safety seat belt are strapped in the car and have nowhere to go, can't roll down the window, and are being exposed to secondhand smoke. We think it's fair that people should not smoke in that car.

People live in apartments all across California who are exposed to secondhand smoke on a daily basis. It drifts from a common area or another apartment.

This initiative will save lives, by raising the tobacco tax and funding urgently needed community emergency and related health care services. This is the broadest coalition that's ever come together to reduce smoking, the number one cause of death in California.

It is important because it has included important new findings, new scientific information that will not only help California policy makers but will help those across the United States address this issue. And, as I think some board members mentioned, this impact on the international community could be very helpful.
