Kittitas (pronounced 'KITT-i-tass') County is located in central Washington State. It spans from the lush forested Cascade Mountains to the upper Yakima River Valley plains and the Columbia River.
Secondhand smoke, or environmental tobacco smoke, is the smoke that is emitted from the end of a burning cigarette, pipe or cigar or is the smoke that is exhaled by a smoker. Every year 3,000 people who do not smoke get lung cancer from secondhand smoke and up to 300,000 children under the age of 18 months get pneumonia or bronchitis from breathing secondhand smoke.
In the fall of 2002, 361 local residents filled out a survey regarding their attitudes and beliefs around secondhand smoke. The winter of 2004, 247 local residents filled out a survey. If you would like to look at the complete results from these surveys click on these links:
