Have you heard the great news? Marriott International, Inc. has just announced that starting September 1st all its 2,300 hotels in the United States and Canada are going 100% smoke-free!

We're extremely excited that Marriott has joined Westin Hotels and Resorts in going smoke-free and has become the largest major hotel chain to adopt a comprehensive smoke-free policy. We need your help to thank Marriott for taking this important step to protect everyone's right to breathe smoke-free air.

It's great news that Marriott has decided to join the growing list of businesses, states and cities that are going smoke-free. Secondhand smoke is not just annoying -- it's dangerous. One puff contains more than 4,000 chemicals, including arsenic, ammonia, cyanide and 69 chemicals which are known to cause cancer.

By going smoke-free Marriott has taken the lead in protecting all its workers and guests from the dangerous chemicals in secondhand smoke. Now everyone can enjoy a vacation or earn a living at thousands of Marriott's hotels without worrying about exposure to secondhand smoke.

Please help us thank Marriott for taking this action to protect public health.

Thank you for your support with our efforts to promote smoke-free workplaces.
