Welcome to Smoke-Free San Diego
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.
