Smoke-Free Homes - Take the pledge!

The Smoke-Free Homes Pledge program is a product of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, designed to encourage parents to keep tobacco smoke out of their homes and away from their children.  The Smoke-Free Housing Coalition has implemented this program in Maine as it adheres to our mission to see that no Maine citizen, regardless of living situation, is involuntarily exposed to secondhand smoke.
