Tobacco laws focus of ‘Lunch ‘n Learn’

    PRESQUE ISLE — Workplace tobacco laws will be the topic Tuesday, April 5, during a special “Lunch ‘n Learn” program hosted by Healthy Aroostook and Power of Prevention, the area’s local Healthy Maine Partnerships (HMPs).

    Sarah Mayberry, program coordinator of Maine’s Breathe Easy Coalition, will be the guest speaker at the event, which takes place at the Presque Isle Inn and Convention Center from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
    “This Lunch ‘n Learn is for employers,” explained Jo-Ellen Kelley, ACAp community education specialist. “Sarah will present the laws in Maine regarding smoking and the policies that businesses need in order to be compliant.”
    Healthy Maine Partnerships can help business people understand these state laws and other rules as they apply to smoking. They provide services at no cost to employers to help them create a policy that works for their business and meets or exceeds state guidelines.
