Musicians from across the country come to Nashville’s bars and music venues with the hope of being heard — but for many, smoke in the air got in the way.
In 2020, a coalition of musicians and advocates took their cause for smoke-free bars and music venues to the capital of Tennessee to help make the policy a reality in Nashville — also known as “Music City.” In this video produced in partnership with the American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation (ANRF), learn how advocates made their case to state and local leaders and paved the way for a smoke-free Nashville — and earning the city a silver CityHealth medal for its Smoke-Free Indoor Air policies.
