NEW YORK — Philip Morris U.S.A. recently announced the launch of its redesigned Options website at www.pmOptions.com. The website is designed to help business owners and operators in the hospitality and ventilation industries seek effective and practical ways to minimize second-hand smoke.

The website was redesigned with input from the hospitality and hvac industries and includes:

• The Options, Hvac Professional Referral Network, which links hospitality business owners interested in improving their indoor air quality with hvac professionals who “understand the unique needs of the hospitality industry”;
• Case studies on the many ways business owners from around the country are successfully accommodating both their non-smoking and smoking customers and employees;
• Customized ventilation assessments geared to specific businesses, information on ventilation principles, advice on how to design space within venues to accommodate non-smokers and smokers, and a free consultation with a ventilation engineer; and
• The Options Knowledge Center, which provides registered visitors with industry news updates specific to the hospitality and hvac industries.
