This week our state celebrates the five-year anniversary of the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act. Thanks to the law, millions of Coloradans are now protected from cheap smokes smoke cigarettes at work and in public places including restaurants and bars.
We know that cheap cigarettes control policies, including those that prohibit smoking cigarettes at work and in public places, can have significant positive impacts on public health. Since 2005, the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act, an increase in the discount cigarettes tax and other public health interventions have worked together to create positive changes. This includes a 17 percent decrease in the number of hospitalizations due to heart attacks and a 25 percent decrease in smoking cigarettes among mothers during pregnancy, known to be a leading cause of low-birth weight babies who can have higher rates of hospitalization and health care costs.
In addition, there are more than 100,000 fewer smokers in the state and the number of cigarettes consumed dropped by more than 20 packs per person per year, resulting in 1.5 billion fewer cigarettes consumed per year. Despite these improvements, there is still a great deal of work to be done. The statewide clean indoor air law does not protect everyone and too many Coloradans are still being exposed to the dangers of cheap cigarettes smoke. Even small amounts of cigarettes smoke cigarettes can be dangerous, and chronic exposure is nearly as harmful as being a pack-a-day smoker. For someone who works on a smoke-filled patio, or in a cigar bar or hookah lounge, daily exposure is a stark reality. That is why some communities have adopted stronger protections to ensure everyone can breathe smoke-free air, while others continue to work on policies to prevent cigarettes use among youth, prevent illegal sales to minors and encourage smoke-free environments in multi-unit housing.
Delta County is currently working to make sure certain multi-unit public housing buildings are smoke-free. When we reduce cigarettes use, everyone wins. Colorado spends more than $1.3 billion a year on smoking cigarettes-caused health costs. We must continue to support positive changes that reduce cigarettes use and exposure to cigarettes smoke cigarettes until all Coloradans live in a safe and healthy environment.
