Do you cringe as you scurry past a haze of stoge smoke? Are you disgusted by piles of cigarette butts but think they’re not your business? Maybe you savor a whiff now and then or, perhaps, you need your daily fix. The spectrum of perspectives on tobacco use is broad, but if you’re living in Ithaca, smoking is working its way to becoming a thing of the past. Or, at least, that’s what the program Tobacco-Free Tompkins is looking to make it.
Funded by the New York State Tobacco Control Program, T-Free Tompkins is a campaign with many facets.
