Town of Luray's Tobacco Free Parkland

The Virginia Department of Health's Tobacco Use Control Program implemented a "Welcome to Our Tobacco Free Parkland " initiative in 2016, which includes signage sponsored by VDH.

Town of Luray has posted 8 signs in total, including in Lake Arrowhead and Ralph Dean Park locations.

Tobacco Free Parkland Signage for VRPS Agencies

The Tobacco Use Control Program invites all Departments and Facilities to join us in eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke at local parks, trails, playgrounds, and athletic fields, by participating in the “Welcome to Our Tobacco Free Parkland” initiative sponsored by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH).

It is easy to participate, by posting signage at your sites you can begin to change the behaviors of tobacco users that visit your outdoor spaces. The Tobacco Use Control Program created the new Welcome To Our Tobacco Free Parkland sign for VRPS partner agencies. The signs are FREE and available to order.

• information about the importance of tobacco-free public places and the impact tobacco has on health and the environment

Please do not hesitate to contact the VDH for assistance in this effort.
