It's not the smoker we mind, it's the smoke
GASP believes that people should
not have to breathe an unhealthy and deadly product
without their consent. After all, smoking is optional,
breathing is not.
The right to breathe smoke-free air comes first
As an advocate for the hundreds of Coloradoans who
may die or become ill due to the exposure of
secondhand smoke, GASP strives to:
1. |
Educate policymakers, businesses, and the public about the positive value of smoke-free policies and the dangers of secondhand smoke. |
2. |
Implement and help enforce the provisions of the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act, which GASP of Colorado helped pass. |
3. |
Strengthen and mobilize support for smoke-free policies and strive to remove the exemption in the state law. |
4. |
Counter tobacco industry’s efforts to repeal, weaken, or undermine smoke-free laws in Colorado. |
5. |
Provide assistance, information, and referrals to people affected by secondhand smoke. |

GASP of Colorado is a statewide
nonprofit 501-C-3 organization
established in 1977 that promotes
smoke-free policies, educates the
public about the dangers of second-
hand smoke, and provides assistance
for people having problems with
tobacco-smoke pollution. |
