Tribal Programs

As a tribal program working to address commercial tobacco use in your community, the document links below will assist in helping to build tribal support in your community to assist tribal leadership, gaming boards, and casino management to make your tribal casino smoke-free. We thank you for the work you are doing in supporting a healthy community.

Casinos

Please allow us to offer a huge CONGRATULATIONS to your businesses for opening smoke-free during this pandemic. On casinos webpages and social media profiles, we noticed the steps taken to clean the casinos and the continuous work to make sure your business prevents the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Would you consider making the casino smoke-free permanently? Below are links to documents for your business to review and utilize to make the casino smoke-free. Provided are policy examples that you may edit to fit your business, and research papers that show how a smoke-free casino can positively impact your business in multiple ways. We understand and acknowledge this is a big ask. We are available to assist you and your staff to amend and/or create policies for a smoke-free casino. We hope your casino will consider making this monumental change. Your casino could pave the way for other casinos across the nation by continuing to stay smoke-free. We thank you for opening your casino smoke-free which creates a safe environment for you, your employees, and your patrons.

Share your feedback about Smoke-free Casinos

We want personal testimonials about what you think about smoking in casinos. Why are we doing this, you might ask yourself. Well, as the State and the Nation begin to re-open, casinos may be on the fence about whether to stay smoke-free or allow smoking again. Your testimonial could make that difference. Please take a moment to share your thoughts about it.
