Tobacco Free Spokane has implemented a Tobacco-Free Zone Project with the City of Spokane Parks and Recreation Department to designate tobacco free zones in dozens of park playgrounds, play structures, pools, skate parks and other places where children gather and play. The goal is to provide positive role modeling for children by non-smoking adults. Tobacco free zones are self-policing by park users.
