    Missouri is currently researching the pros and cons of becoming a completely tobacco free department. We are looking for any pros and cons other states have realized since they became tobacco free or that they have found when researching the idea.

    Ohio recently did just this. you should be able to contact one of the administrators in the Department and get some data from them on the pros and cons.

    According to the information that I have received from Ohio they went Tobacco free in March 2009 and do not have data available this early into the process.
