ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—The Navajo Nation Council is to consider a measure next week during its summer session that would prohibit the use of commercial tobacco in public buildings and shared public air spaces, such as fairs and rodeos.
The measure would prohibit cigarettes and chewing tobacco, but not tobacco used in ceremonies for traditional or religious purposes.
The Southwest Navajo Tobacco Education Prevention Project is pushing the passage of the law, backed by the tribe's Division of Health and the Hataalii Association Inc., a group of medicine men.
"It's a healthy decision," said David Begay, a medicine man from Ganado, Ariz. "I would say the majority of Navajo people probably support it. What people do at the home as far as smoking is concerned ... that's their decision. We're talking about public places."
The Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise opposes the measure, saying it would put the tribe's first casino at a disadvantage against others in the area.
