The vision of the L.A. County Tobacco Control and Prevention Program (TCPP) is a smoke-free Los Angeles county. In over 15 years since the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health's Tobacco Control and Prevention Program was first funded by the California Department of Public Health's /Tobacco Control Section through Proposition 99, the California Tobacco Tax Initiative, many advances in the fight against tobacco have been made in Los Angeles County.
Within the last several years, the adult smoking rate has decreased 2.5%, the youth smoking rate had been reduced 12.1%, nearly every Angeleno worker enjoys a smoke-free workplace, compliance with no smoking in bars and restaurants is over 90%, and tobacco companies have been prohibited from using cartoons to advertise cigarettes. However, even with these profound changes, there is much that still needs to be done.
