Picture of the window cling that hangs in smoke-free restaurants.
Look for this window cling at participating restaurants in the Quad City Area that are 100% smoke-free.Non-Smoking Restaurant Thank them for providing you a healthy dining environment.

Why you should dine smoke-free

  • Secondhand smoke is a Class A carcinogen (cancer causing) - there is no safe level of exposure.
  • Secondhand smoke contains over 4000 chemicals; cyanide, arsenic, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and ammonia.
  • Secondhand smoke causes burning eyes and nasal passages, headaches, nausea and discomfort to non-smokers and can aggravate the condition of persons with allergies or asthma.
  • Current ventilation standards only remove odors. They do not remove carcinogens or health risks. Separate areas do not eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke.
  • Employees are exposed to secondhand smoke and may not have the option of changing jobs to protect their health.

If you know of a smoke-free restaurant in Scott County, Iowa, please contact Program Coordinator, JaNan Less at (563) 326-8618.
