Smoke-free policies are one of the first lines of defense to protect non-smokers from secondhand and thirdhand smoke. However, these types of policies have also been shown to help motivate and encourage smokers to quit and help prevent initiation of tobacco use. This not only means having a smoke-free policy can help improve the health of your customers, employees, and visitors, but they can also help improve your business and your community. 

The Breathe Easy program has several services available free of charge to help implement and enforce smoke-free policies, whether it’s for your business, event, school, church, or property. 

Services We Offer:

  • Free Breathe Easy decals to let people know you are a smoke-free property
  • 15” x 15” metal Breathe Easy signs; must meet certain criteria
  • Tenant and landlord or property manager resources
  • Sample smoke-free policies that you can customize to fit your needs
  • Assistance with clean indoor air complaints
