[HealthyTribes] New county and tribal tobacco-free policies map

[Epstein Andrew D]

Hi all,

Attached and saved on HPCDP Connection<https://partners.health.oregon.gov/Partners/HPCDPConnection/Tobacco/Pages/Worksites.aspx> is a new map showing where policies have been adopted prohibiting or restricting tobacco use on county or tribal properties. The map displays three categories of policies:


*         All county or tribal properties are 100% tobacco-free

*         County or tribal public health/health department properties are 100% tobacco-free

*         Smoking and/or tobacco use is restricted beyond the minimum 10-foot setback from windows and doors required by the ICAA, but not 100% tobacco-free (including policies containing designated smoking areas)

The Rede Group developed this map based on an analysis of policies that have been passed by counties and tribes throughout the state. If your tribe is not on the map, or if your county does not have a symbol on it, it means we have not received a written tobacco policy for that county or tribe.

Please contact your liaison if there are any questions or if corrections may be needed. Great work everyone on continuing to expand the number of tobacco-free environments throughout the state!

Thanks,
Andrew
