In partnership with agencies throughout the state, PACT also provides technical assistance to businesses, multi-unit housing sites, and municipalities that are implementing or strengthening smokefree policies. A strong smokefree policy takes into consideration issues such as smokeless tobacco products, e-cigarettes, enforcement, and smoking cessation programs for employees or residents who want to quit. The toolkits and model policies below can help you to develop and implement a strong smokefree policy.
