Welcome to Smoke Free Chattanooga's Website!

Welcome to Smoke Free Chattanooga's new website! We hope this site is a resource and an interactive experience.

Great progress was made in 2007, with Tennessee's Non-Smoker Protection Act. Thank you for any support you may have given in this effort. Implementation of the law will be a priority for coming months. But we have a long way to go to reduce the health and financial consequences of tobacco in our state and local area.

Smoking among adults in Tennessee is still 3rd highest in the nation. Youth smoking (26.3%) is also higher than most states.

We can do better. We hope you will join us in advocating for progressive tobacco policies and legislation to improve the environment of public places for the protection of all. Coalition activities and updates will be posted here.

Get involved on whatever level you are able. It does make a difference.

Meanwhile, enjoy the cleaner air in area restaurants, workplaces, and other indoor public spaces!
