During the month of March, Brattleboro Area Prevention Coalition (BAPC) is doing a community survey to determine if people are bothered by second-hand smoke in front of Price Chopper and/or Rite Aid on Canal Street.
BAPCwill be hosting a community Facebook chat in early April to discuss the results and determine the next step. Please complete the survey, pass it along, and join us for the Facebook chat on April 8th from 7-8 PM.
Please share your voice by completing the brief survey by March 31st- https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SmokeFreeMarch2014.

Pricechopper has posted "No
Pricechopper has posted “No smoking ” signs on and by the benches between their store and Rite Aid and each time they were taken down. I’m glad to see this issue is being addressed.That is where people wait for the Current buses and it’s terrible to be subjected to 2 or 3 people sitting there smoking.
