Tobacco Free Parks

Parks, walking trails, and other outdoor areas all benefit from the protection of a tobacco-free parks policy.

Policies are simple, usually one-page, and can be tailored to meet the needs of the community.

Sample policies are available at Rural Three for Tobacco Free Communities.
