A 14 MILLONES DE LATINOS SE LES ESTÁ OBLIGANDO A FUMAR.

El humo de segunda mano en restaurantes y bares afecta más a los Latinos que a cualquier otro grupo. En un día de trabajo nuestros meseros, cocineros y vecinos respiran un equivalente a fumar un paquete de cigarrillos diario. De manera que estas personas pueden desarrollar cáncer de pulmón en un 34% más que un no fumador. Es hora de hacer valer los derechos de nuestra comunidad. Visite standohio.org para apoyar los lugares de trabajo donde no se permita fumar.
