Tobacco Free Winter Olympics
The Tobacco Free Sports initiative worked with the Salt Lake City Olympic
Organizers to establish the 2002 Olympic Winter Games and the Paralympic
Winter Games as tobacco-free events.
Since the first Olympic Games in 1896, commercial advertisement or
sponsorship of tobacco companies has never been allowed. This policy was
further reinforced in 1988 when the International Olympic Committee and
World Health Organization (WHO), in cooperation with the Organizing
Committees of the Games, prohibited smoking in all Olympic sports venues.
The 2002 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City are also
tobacco-free and promote healthy lifestyle messages targeting young people.
