You don't have to be sick to get better. Every system and process and every person can be improved.
:In May 2006, the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium became Tobacco-Free. Employees and visitors are not permitted to smoke, chew, or use any type of tobacco products while on Zoo property. This includes the parking areas and all buildings. Second-hand smoke is proven to cause cancer and other ailments, and cigarette butts and chew create litter.
