Smoke-free foster care is common sense; state should act

Some of Minnesota’s most vulnerable children are at risk from the serious effects of secondhand smoke. It’s time for the state to act in the best interest of children in foster care and protect them from the known cancer-causing poisons and toxins in secondhand smoke. This is why I have introduced a bill in the legislature to prohibit smoking in foster care homes.
