Smoke-Free San Diego is a project of the Tobacco-Free Coalition of San Diego County, a group of local agencies and community members who fight for smoke-free air and mobilize communities to bring out policy change.

Over the past 20 years much progress has been made to protect San Diego residents and our region’s environment from the dangers associated with secondhand smoke, tobacco litter, and illegal tobacco sales.

This website charts the course of San Diego’s smoke-free movement and offers resources that promote understanding of state and local policies that keep our community healthy.

Join us in the fight for smoke-free air!

Be a champion for health equity and justice!

Breaking Free from Nicotine Day is more than a day of celebration. It is a “Call To Action” to inspire hope in those who struggle to overcome nicotine dependence. It is a movement that thrives on the strength of community involvement.

We encourage individuals and organizations to come together, share their experiences, and join forces in the fight against nicotine dependence and mentholated cigarettes’ grip on our African American and African immigrant communities.

This sense of unity fosters a collective commitment to creating African American and African immigrant communities where nicotine dependence is a “thing of the past”.
