The Colorado Group to Alleviate Smoking Pollution (GASP) was a 501(c)(3) statewide nonprofit founded in 1977 to safeguard public health by eliminating secondhand smoke in workplaces, public places, and multiunit housing. GASP believed that no one should be subjected to secondhand smoke, whether from tobacco, marijuana, or electronic smoking devices. GASP dissolved in 2026, but its websites remain available as public resources. Some key accomplishments:

• Educated the public about the dangers of secondhand smoke. GASP’s media campaigns reached millions of Colorado households.
• Provided resources to individuals and families impacted by secondhand smoke exposure in public places and multifamily housing.
• Worked with the housing industry and health partners to implement smoke-free policies and provide valuable resources through mysmokefreehousing.org. As of today, more than 14,000 Colorado apartments and condos have implemented smoke-free policies, ensuring healthier living environments for countless residents. A list of apartments and condos that have smoke-free policies as of June 2026 isat mysmokefreehousing.com.
• Advocated for stronger smoke-free laws and regulations.
• Supported efforts to keep young people from a lifetime of tobacco addiction.
