California Health Collaborative - Chico (Smoke Free High Country)
About This Partner/Organization
The Smoke Free High Country project will focus in Plumas, Lassen and Siskiyou Counties
to assist communities to: 1) adopt and implement point-of-sale policies in at least three (3)
jurisdictions in order to combat the Tobacco Industry's predatory pricing practices among
low-income, rural communities; 2) adopt and implement voluntary policies designating at
least five (5) behavioral health, substance abuse treatment and healthcare sites as
tobacco-free in order to reduce secondhand smoke exposure and encourage cessation
from among low-income, rural communities; and 3) adopt and implement tobacco-free
campus policies at Lassen Community College, Feather River Community College, and
the College of the Siskiyous in order to reduce secondhand smoke exposure, promote
cessation, and reinforce community norms related to a tobacco-free lifestyle.
