The mission of the Breathe Free Committee is to decrease tobacco use among Cleveland residents and promote high standards for clean air. Following are past projects that helped further this mission:

Healthiest Cities & Counties Challenge (2016 - 2018)

Cleveland was a part of the 2016 - 2018 Healthiest Cities & Counties Challenge, a two year competition to create positive health impacts within cities, counties, and federally recognized tribes. Cleveland's focus was on promoting healthy behaviors and reducing air pollutants through the implementation of Breathe Free CLE: A Comprehensive Tobacco Reduction Strategy.
