Tobacco Cessation & Education Requirements
The 1998 passage of Proposition10 added a 50-cent-per-pack increase in the state surtax on cigarettes and tobacco products to fund anti-smoking and early childhood programs. In response, the Commission adopted a Comprehensive Tobacco Control Policy. Based on this policy, all contractors are expected to make a good faith effort to:
A. Create and/or maintain a comprehensive smoke-free environment; including adherence to applicable secondhand smoke laws and ordinances
B. Disclose and divest from tobacco related investments
C. Educate clients and staff about the harmful effects of secondhand smoke on children as appropriate
D. Provide smoking cessation resources to staff and clients as appropriate
