Florida State Police Urge Residents to "Respect the Risk" from Secondhand Fentanyl.....

Tallahassee, FL - The Florida Department of Law Enforcement's new Respect the Risk™ campaign is warning state residents about the dangers of overdosing after exposure to secondhand fentanyl smoke.

"We want people to respect the risk when it comes to every kind of fentanyl exposure," FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass explained. "Most people know about overdosing from fentanyl molecules on their skin, but they also need to know about secondhand fentanyl smoke and how when they breathe in someone else's breath, they are breathing in the breath of every person whose breath that person has ever breathed in."

The Respect the Risk™ campaign is the brainchild of Mort Fishman, a police toxicologist with decades of experience making the public aware of things to be afraid of. Fishman, who previously worked on educational pamphlets for families, such as Sally's Satanic Saturday and Timmy Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Because a Stranger Kidnapped him from a Chuck E. Cheese, believes that a combination of awareness and technology are necessary to keep Floridians safe from secondhand fentanyl smoke. "The FentaShield airway defense system is cheaper than a '98 Buick LeSabre and effective at preventing secondhand, thirdhand, and probably even fourthhand exposures."
