- According to an Arkansas Opinion Poll conducted in 2001, 77% of Arkansans (including many smokers) prefer smoke-free restaurants.
- Our primary goal is to change the culture, making smoking socially unacceptable. Regulation is only a tool. Our goal is not to necessarily pass a law but to change attitudes, behaviors and beliefs. The law isn’t the most important part, it’s the icing on the cake. Our goal is to influence health.
