While Oklahomans are now smoking 49.3 million fewer packs of Cigarettes than four years ago, the secondhand smoke from those Cigarettes causes numerous health hazards and kills about 700 Oklahomans a year, health authorities said Thursday. While Oklahomans are now smoking 49.3 million fewer packs of Cigarettes than four years ago, the secondhand smoke from those Cigarettes causes numerous health hazards and kills about 700 Oklahomans a year, health authorities said Thursday. "We need to make Oklahoma 100 percent smoke-free, Wes Glinsmann, spokesman for the American Heart Association, said at a state Capitol news conference. Officials there urged state leaders to close loopholes and exemptions on smoking in places such as restaurants, hotels, bars and bingo halls. Nonsmokers outnumber smokers in Oklahoma about 2 million to 650,000, or 3 to 1, according to state Health Department data. Glinsmann said nonsmokers are 30 percent more likely to develop heart disease if they are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke. Asthmatics can't even be exposed to a small amount of smoke without having breathing difficulties, health officials said. Cynthia Hallett, executive director of the California-based Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights, said 30 states and more than 600 U.S. cities have smoke-free laws. "Unfortunately, Oklahoma is not one of these, said Hallett, adding that Oklahoma has statutes which prohibit cities from having tougher smoke-free laws than the state. Cattlemen's Steak House spent $40,000 in 2005 to create seating areas for both smokers and nonsmokers. A wall separates the areas, and a ventilation system to quickly remove smoke from customers' Cigarettes. "It's worked out beautifully, owner Dick Stubbs said.
