Tobacco free spaces support our community in many ways. They improve health by providing fewer opportunities for youth to start smoking, [i],[ii] and reduce secondhand smoke exposure. [iii] These policies also help lower cigarette litter, [iv]encourage people to make healthy choices and increase quit attempts. [v],[vi],[vii]
