Take Immediate Action to Protect Illinois Smoke-Free Air

URGENT

Its getting hot in Springfield! The casino industry is at it again! House Bill 1850 passed out of the Illinois House of Representatives Executive Committee earlier today over the opposition of public health advocates. This is yet another attempt by the casino industry to ram through legislation allowing smoking in Illinois casinos.

Please tell your Representative to vote "NO" on House Bill 1850!

With your help, we managed to slow down their earlier attempt to pass House Bill 1846. Now, they're trying to push through House Bill 1850, another proposal which would be harmful to the health of Illinois casino workers and casino patrons alike. We fear that if a bill to exempt casinos passes the Illinois legislature, it could open the floodgates to other exemptions, such as bars, private clubs, restaurants, leading to the unraveling of our Smoke-Free law.

Please tell your Representative to vote "NO" on House Bill 1850!

We need your help today. This bill could be called for a vote as early as Tuesday, November 30.

Thank you again for all you have done and continue to do to support our policy and advocacy efforts!
