二手烟是死于癌症和其他疾病的一个重要的可预防的原因。为此，NCI通过了一项政策，规定“为了减少二手烟暴露造成的癌症和其他严重的健康危害，NCI组织和/或赞助的所有会议应在无烟的城镇、城市、县或州举行，除非特殊情况证明该政策有例外情况。”为了允许工作人员执行这项政策，NCI必须能够获得关于城市、州、市政当局和县的无烟条例的信息。

Secondhand smoke is an important preventable cause of death from cancer and other illnesses. For this reason, NCI adopted a policy stating that, “In order to reduce cancer and other serious health hazards caused by secondhand smoke exposure, all meetings and conferences organized and/or sponsored by NCI shall be held in a town, city, county, or state that is smoke free, unless specific circumstances justify an exception from this policy.” To allow staff to implement this policy, NCI must have access to information on smokefree ordinances in cities, states, municipalities, and counties.
