Seminole County is leading the way for Florida! 🌿
-
On April 14, 2026, Florida's Seminole County Commission unanimously approved a ban on smoking and va**ng in county parks except for unfiltered ci**rs. Seminole joins 22 other Florida counties that have imposed the ban in their parks. Policies like this protect residents from the serious health risks of to***co smoke exposure, while also reducing the environmental toll that to***co product waste takes on our parks and green spaces. πŸ‘

New California affordable housing is setting the standard for clean air. 🏠
-
Earlier this year, our research team conducted telephone surveys with a random sample of 57 California property managers and found that 100% of state-funded developments ban smoking and va**ng in shared indoor spaces! And 98% extend that ban to residential units and balconies. These policies are a major win for resident health and could serve as a model for multiunit housing across the state. Way to go, California!

iKickButts User Highlight of the Week! 🌟
-
During a clean-up at iKickButts headquarters, our researchers found this discarded "tear tape" or "pull tab" of a cigarette package. Identifiable by the clear plastic gold trim, this wrapping material can take decades to break down and release harmful toxins along the way.
