The Michigan Multicultural Network has developed a multi-language Smoke-free Home Pledge Brochure. The intent of the brochure is to have members of the communities of color commit to healthy life-style choices by pledging to keep their homes and vehicles smoke-free. This brochure may be previewed by using the following link:
