Tobacco-Free Parks & Playgrounds

Municipalities, schools, and organizations around the state have in recent years been enacting tobacco-free park and playground policies. Tobacco-free parks, playgrounds, and public spaces help protect children and other community members from exposure to secondhand smoke in the places where they play and recreate.

Healthy Acadia offers resources and support to local municipalities interested in enacting tobacco-free policies. Please contact Doug Michael for more information, doug@healthyacadia.org or 288-5331.
