We thank all of our members for their participation in the SFCC Coalition and for their many contributions to health improvement in our community.
While the Smoke-Free Carroll County Coalition no longer meets as an organized group, this website will continue to contain information on the hazards of smoking as well as smoking cessation.
We welcome any information you may have that we can add to this website for our Coalition’s benefit.
Please contact Lexi Schafer at lschafer@carrollhospitalcenter.org or Dawn Eldridge at deldridge@dhmh.state.md.us with any such articles or other information.
 February 1, 2008 was a landmark day for health in our state. The Clean Indoor Air Act of 2007 went into effect banning smoking in bars and restaurants in our state. Maryland has now joined more than 30 other states and numerous countries world wide. Click here to view the legislation leading to this Clean Indoor Air Act.
 May 17, 2007 – Governor Martin O’Malley signed legislation requiring all bars and restaurants in Maryland to become smoke-free, effective February 1, 2009. The law protects the health of bar and restaurant employees and patrons, closing the legislative loophole that allowed these establishments to be exempt from the state’s workplace smoking ban. Thank you to all who rallied for Smoke-Free Maryland to become a reality!
