Youth Advocates from Breathe CA, a member of the Tobacco Education Coalition in San Mateo County, persuaded the County Board of Supervisors to pass a smoke free movies resolution after presenting their work to educate young people about the harms of tobacco use in film. A unanimous vote resulted in the passing of a resolution in support of an “R” rating for films that depict tobacco use.
