Salmon Run Mall to be tobacco-free May 31
Von buycigarettes, 12:31Starting May 31, Salmon Run Mall in Watertown will go tobacco-free. The move is part of a policy change made by Pyramid Management Group LLC, Syracuse, that will affect the 15 malls it owns in New York and Massachusetts. The policy, which aims to make malls more family-friendly, will ban the use of tobacco products for the entire mall property, including entry points, hallways, sidewalks, parking lots and construction areas.
Employees at the mall who smoke will be able to sign up for free cessation programs to help them quit, said Sue H. Cassanova, project manager for BRiDGES to Prevent Tobacco of Syracuse, which helped launch the program. The policy aims to ensure the thousands of visitors at the mall are protected from second-hand smoke.
