Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
The organization's primary exempt purpose is to promote nonsmoking as the norm through smoking prevention, education programs, information dissemination, technical assistance and training.
Activities or mission (Part I)
The organization informed, educated and provided technical assistance to tobacco control leaders, governmental and non-governmental agencies, the media, educators, parents and the general public about smokefree air and secondhand smoke issues through its website, newsletters and bulletins, listservs, individualized technical assistance, presentations, trainings and public speaking engagements at video conferences and video seminars throughout the country.ANRF also analyzed tobacco law documents which resulted in new data being inputted into its U.S. Tobacco Control Laws Database. Reports and data runs from the database were used to assist researchers, communicate smokefree trends and the status of smokefree laws to the media and the public. This program also collected and catalogued new documents for inclusion in the organization's expanded Tobacco Industry Tracking Database and related website.

Smokefree Multi-unit Housing: 101 cities and counties have enacted municipallaws that regulate smoking in private units of multi-unit housing, of which 51jurisdictions meet the best practice standard of requiring all rented and owned multiunit residential properties with 2 or more units to be 100% smokefree indoors for all types of smoking and vaping. 84 of the jurisdictions require that the specified type of multi-unit housing they cover is required to be 100% smokefree indoors.
