Smokefree Knoxville is a partnership with Metro Drug Coalition, bringing together Knoxville based public health organizations, hospitality workers, musicians, and venues to create smokefree workplaces for all Knoxvillians. Following the passage of SB2219 by Knoxville’s own Senator Richard Briggs and Representative Michele Carringer, Knoxville now has the ability to introduce it’s own smokefree ordinance, and we are excited to support that movement!

It’s time to protect ALL Knoxvillian’s workplaces.

Since the Nonsmoker’s Protection Act passed in 2007, a vast majority of Tennesseans enjoy the protection and guarantee of a smoke-free workplace. Unfortunately, loopholes in that original statewide law have left our hospitality workers and musicians behind, and we think it’s long past time for that to change.
