Policy Brief
Using the 2014–2019 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) combined adult data and existing state, county, and city tobacco control policies and neighborhood-level data on social drivers of health, this brief examines variations in local tobacco policies and their relationship with smoking behaviors, particularly among priority populations disproportionately impacted by tobacco.

Research Project
Research examining health behaviors related to tobacco use among the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) adult population is often lacking. This study, a follow-on survey of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research’s (CHPR) 2019–2020 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), collected population-disaggregated data on tobacco use, cessation, secondhand exposure, and attitudes regarding tobacco use and control policies among the LGBTQ+ population.

Policy Brief
The proportion of Californians reporting exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) from tobacco and marijuana and electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) vapor has grown over time, despite an increasing number of smoke-free local laws in the last 10 years. Residents of market-rate, privately owned multi-unit housing (MUH) — e.g., apartments — are particularly at risk of drifting SHS.

Policy Brief
Secondhand smoke is dangerous to a person’s health at any level of exposure. Yet policies that prevent smoking are not in place for a majority of market-rate multi-unit housing complexes, according to this survey of nearly 1,000 apartment dwellers in the city of Los Angeles. Approximately 37 percent of respondents reported that secondhand smoke had drifted into their apartments in the past year.

Fact Sheet
This fact sheet highlights preliminary findings from a survey of 93 multi-unit housing property owners and managers in the city of Los Angeles regarding smoke-free policies in their buildings. Initial results indicate that most properties in the area do not have smoke-free policies in place, but property owners with and without policies are largely supportive of these policies.

Research Report
This report examines both the health and economic costs of commercial tobacco use and secondhand smoke inhalation in the American Indian and Alaska Native communities in California. The authors estimate the cost of smoking — in health care and lost productivity — totals nearly 800 million dollars a year. It provides detailed breakdowns of productivity losses, as well as costs per individual and by specific health condition, of commercial tobacco use.
