TOBACCO-FREE MAINE WORKS REPRESENTIVES TO SPEAK TO ROTARY CLUB ON MAR 23.

The Bridgton-Lake Region Rotary Club will host representatives from Tobacco-Free Maine Works via Zoom on Thursday, March 23, at 7:30 a.m. This is a zoom only meeting. All are welcome.

For the access link, contact gszoksbox@gmail.com.

Tobacco-Free Maine Works is a coalition of Maine business leaders who are dedicated to reducing youth tobacco use, the cycle of addiction and disease, in order to promote a healthy workforce for the future. So far, more than 40 Maine-based businesses have signed on as partners of Tobacco-Free Maine Works. That covers companies from Portland to Bar Harbor and Caribou and includes retail stores, food service, childcare centers, professional services and insurance companies. The Coalition is acting now to reduce youth tobacco use to help prevent additional health care costs down the line once young people enter the workforce. That's why Tobacco-Free Maine Works supports solutions like ending the sale of flavored tobacco products that lure kids into becoming life-long tobacco users.

Speakers Matt Wellington and Anne Donnelly will discuss the issue facing Maine employers who, already faced with a challenging labor market, are being pushed to the breaking point due to employee illness, leading to more days out and higher health care costs. Tobacco use makes employees sicker. Matt is the Director, Public Health Campaigns, PIRG. Anne is an Associate in the same organization.
