​Earlier this year, Los Angeles received an "F" grade from the American Lung Association in the category of smokefree housing. In early April, the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research – with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – launched a new campaign to reduce both smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke in apartment buildings in some of the most densely populated and disadvantaged neighborhoods of South Los Angeles. This Smokefree Apartments Los Angeles initiative is part of a national CDC program to encourage voluntary smokefree policies in private, multi-unit rental buildings in the city of Los Angeles. Speakers are UCLA Center for Health Policy Research's Chronic Disease Program Co-Director Ying-Ying Meng and Health Data Program Director Peggy Toy.
