Statement from the Indiana State Health Commissioner

Statement from the Indiana State Health Commissioner released March 9, 2012

Indiana legislators have made history today by passing the Indiana statewide smoke-free air law. It’s a significant action and a leap forward that places Indiana within national public health recommendations for reducing the usage of tobacco within our Hoosier population. Though there will always be more we can do, we have an important tool in our arsenal to protect Hoosiers from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke throughout our state.

Gregory N. Larkin, MD, FAAFP, FACOEM
Indiana State Health Commissioner
