Tobacco-Free Sports and Recreation Policies Chew Tobacco The findings show that the messages about the detrimental effects of chew tobacco are not penetrating all groups, especially the Junior B team players. There is also a sense that coaches may equate chew tobacco use with competitive edge. There is a need to address this area of tobacco use with all groups (players, parents, coaches, team staff and venue management). Extend Designated Area/Bans We recommend either extending the 9-metre rule from arena doors or introducing an outright tobacco ban in hockey settings. Raise Awareness and Expand TFSR Policy Reach We recommend that “Play, Live, Be…Tobacco-Free” continues to increase awareness of itself and TFSR policy among the sports and recreation community as well as the Canadian public. We recommend identifying mechanisms for increasing its presence. This could include continued efforts to increase the number of policies being developed and implemented with accompanying signage and advertisements in and around arenas. An increased PLBTF presence would better enable broad (e.g., organisation-wide, league-wide, arena-wide) TFSR policy implementation. Adequate funding and resources will be needed to assist sports and recreation organizations in advocating, developing and implementing policy. Ontario Tobacco Research Unit 64
