Support Ongoing Change
Consider what changes will need to be made once your policy has passed and how to keep up with change.
Examples of Supporting Change
Čaŋlí Coalition
In late 2019, the federal government increased the age to purchase tobacco to 21 with little warning to young adults or tobacco retailers. The Čaŋlí Coalition responded by amping up smoking cessation promotion for young adults, and supplied tobacco retailers on the reservation with an informative letter, updated We Card signs and a training video for clerks.
When our local schools updated their tobacco policies, the Čaŋlí Coalition offered an alternative to suspension option for students with tobacco violations. Our “Think Again” packet gives students the opportunity to learn about addiction and quitting support available to minors.
