Local officials in the San Francisco Bay Area are spearheading proposals to further restrict how tobacco is sold and where it is smoked.
A strong push is coming from anti-tobacco campaigners in the LGBTQ+ community, which has higher rates of smoking than the population at large.
Research suggests that the pressures associated with belonging to a group that faces discrimination are likely a cause of the high smoking rates.
Almost 31% of public schools in Vallejo are within 1,000 feet of a tobacco retailer.
Bar patios are another frontier for local activists.
Not everyone in the LGBTQ+ community is on board with the new rules.
“The tobacco industry uses bars to target queer people by offering event sponsorships, bar promotions, coupons, and advertising,” Davis said.
