You have the right to breathe clean, smoke-free air.
The Colorado Group to Alleviate Smoking Pollution is a 501(c)(3), statewide, nonprofit organization established in 1977. Our mission is clear: to safeguard public health by eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke in workplaces, public areas, and multiunit housing. At GASP, we believe that no individual should be subjected to breathing secondhand smoke from tobacco, marijuana, or electronic smoking devices.
"GASP and Pete Bialick's relentless focus and hard work over 40 years has been instrumental in championing sweeping clean indoor air policies that have dramatically reduced exposure to secondhand smoke and associated health risks throughout Colorado. GASP continues to believe that everyone has the right to breathe smoke-free air and advocates for people who suffer from exposure to secondhand smoke at work, at play, or in public. Pete's vision and sustained commitment have reduced the toll of tobacco on Coloradans and contributed to Colorado's healthy environment and lifestyle."
John W. Hickenlooper, Governor of the State of Colorado, December 15, 2017
