What policy area are you interested in?
Smoke-free Implementation
Smoke-free laws accomplish three goals: they protect the public from second-hand smoke exposure; they motivate quit efforts (cessation); and they improve indoor air quality.
TAPS Implementation
Each year, the tobacco industry spends billions to market its tobacco products, attract customers, increase sales and normalize tobacco use. Tobacco advertising, promotion, and sales (TAPS) regulations cut the industry’s reach by limiting where products can be placed, plugged, and pushed.
Tobacco Vendor Licensing Implementation
Tobacco Vendor Licensing is a strategy to reduce tobacco product availability and accessibility, particularly to youth.
Venue managers play a key role in implementing smoke-free laws; empowering and educating them is critical to success.
Sample flyers and factsheets from diverse global smoke-free initiatives show how literature varies by venues type, including restaurants, sports clubs, government buildings, tobacco retailers and more.
