Resolution

Abstract:

In July 2005, the Blackfeet Tribal Business Council passed the Blackfeet Tobacco Free Act, which states that all public places will be smoke-free and spit-tobacco-free on the Blackfeet Reservation. The tribe passed the Blackfeet Tobacco Free Act to recognize the harmful effects of tobacco and to protect public health. The law still recognizes the traditional aspect of tobacco use. The passage of the Tobacco-Free Act is part of many tribal health initiatives to address commercial tobacco health related diseases and deaths on the reservation.
