Smokefree Housing


Living in a smokefree home is a choice everyone should have. Californians know the dangers of secondhand smoke. And, we've done something about getting it out of workplaces and restaurants. But, for some people living in apartments, breathing secondhand smoke from neighboring apartments has become a real health problem. The next big challenge facing the tobacco control movement in California is how to address the problem of secondhand smoke exposure in the home.

Many of the recent polls the Center has commissioned have been on smokefree housing.  To read summaries and see the results of these polls, click here.
