Because the negative health effects of secondhand smoke exposure are well documented, one of the most important steps a community can take to improve the health of its residents is to create more smokefree spaces—especially where people live.

ChangeLab Solutions has developed a series of tools to help California cities and counties better understand, plan, and implement policies to establish smokefree housing. We offer model ordinance language, fact sheets, how-to-guides, and more, available at no cost from our website. Our staff attorneys also can review draft policies, lead workshops and trainings, and provide one-on-one assistance and answers to your most challenging legal questions.  

Our team has been working with California communities on secondhand smoke issues for more than a decade. Contact us for help as you work to advance policies to limit exposure to secondhand smoke in your community.
