Objective 1, the primary objective of this project: a minimum of four (4) jurisdictions within Yolo and/or Tehama counties will adopt and implement a legislated policy designating all outdoor common areas and 100% of indoor individual units (including balconies and patios) in multi-unit housing (MUH) complexes as entirely smoke-free.

Objective 3: a minimum of four (4) health care facilities will adopt and implement a voluntary tobacco-free campus policy; and/or adopt and implement a voluntary policy for comprehensive screening/assessment and referral to evidence-based cessation programs and supports such as Kick It California.
