The Breathe Easy Coalition promotes the development of smoke-free environments through three initiatives: the Smoke-Free Housing Coalition of Maine, the Maine Tobacco-Free College Network and the Maine Tobacco-Free Hospital Network.
The program works through policy change, education and advocacy to reduce involuntary exposure to secondhand smoke and promote tobacco-free lifestyles.
Smoke-Free Housing Coalition of Maine:
The Smoke-Free Housing Coalition provides technical assistance to landlords,
tenants, property management companies, and public health professionals in
designing and advocating for the implementation of smoke-free policies in
multi-unit and residential rental buildings.
