ALT Protect casino employees and patrons from COPD, advocate for smokefree casinos! Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of COPD in the United States. Long-term smoking and/or exposure to secondhand smoke damages your lungs and airways.

ALT Happy Native American Heritage Month! CCAP encourages you to celebrate and acknowledge the diverse cultures and histories of the many indigenous peoples throughout America. Take time to reflect on the injustices of the past and present and be an advocate for change. In the present day, the tobacco industry appropriates Native American cultures in marketing by using valued traditions with sacred tobacco to promote commercial tobacco use for profit. Commercial tobacco is not traditional tobacco. Keep tobacco sacred and protect your traditions, culture, and community from the harm of the commercial tobacco industry. Smokefree homes protect the health and safety of you, your family, and community.

These microplastics pose a significant threat to our health, causing issues such as infertility and DNA mutations. Protect the health and wellness of our community. Keep our tribal lands free from tobacco product waste.
