Tobacco Laws Affecting California is a fully updated, user-friendly guide to laws regulating exposure to secondhand smoke and the sale and marketing of tobacco products.

It includes information on California state laws and regulations related to tobacco, as well as on certain federal laws and regulations that apply within California, such as the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. (It does not contain information on the numerous local laws in California that regulate tobacco use, sales, or distribution, many of which are stricter than state or federal law.)

This booklet, developed by ChangeLab Solutions (formerly Public Health Law & Policy (PHLP) and the Technical Assistance Legal Center (TALC), is designed as a resource for tobacco control advocates, government attorneys, local law enforcement agencies, and anyone who is working on tobacco control issues.
