我們的工作

我們的工作凝聚了所有希望保護社區和家人免受煙草商致命病態流行侵害的加州人。從社區參與、教育宣傳,到基於證據的研究和報告,我們為加州人提供對抗煙草業的有力工具。

UNDO在全加州範圍內積極參與社區工作,致力於創建無煙草和無尼古丁的環境;保護大眾免受有毒煙草產品廢棄物的影響;消除危險的二手煙和電子煙氣霧;反擊煙草業的積極和欺騙性營銷手段;終結致命且令人上癮之煙草產品的供應,尤其是針對青少年的產品;並幫助那些對煙草和尼古丁上癮的人戒煙。

我們的工作概覽:

  • 社區參與我們為加州各地近200個地方衛生部門、非營利機構及社區組織提供資金支持。這些地方和全州範圍內的組織動員社區成員,教育民選官員,並推動政策變革,這對於防止和減少煙草使用的基層工作至關重要。
  • 教育與宣傳:我們的公共衛生教育和宣傳活動使用發人深省的廣告,揭露煙草商欺騙、操控和針對加州社區的手段,並教育所有加州人認識到暴露於煙草中的危險影響,從致命的二手煙、有毒的煙草廢棄物到電子煙和尼古丁口含煙袋的危害。我們的教育活動以七種語言進行,包括英語、西班牙語、粵語、國語話、韓語、越南語及他加祿語,以接觸加州多元化的族群。歡迎探索UNDO的宣傳活動
  • 監測、研究與評估:UNDO是一項數據驅動的計劃。我們通過電話、學校和網絡調查來追蹤成年人和青少年的煙草知識、態度和行為。這些調查監控進展,並展示出新出現的挑戰,例如新產品的使用,這使我們能夠調整教育工作。煙草防治措施的評估有助於確定哪些策略在保護加州人方面最有效。
  • 戒煙支援:我們通過Kick It California及 ASQ《華語戒煙專線》提供六種語言的免費戒煙協助,並為聽障人士提供支援服務;更通過提高對醫療系統、醫療計劃和雇主所提供對於戒煙支援的認識、可得性及可用性,來幫助加州人戒煙。加州強調增加與支援戒煙嘗試,這是基於30年來經過證實的科學策略成果。你可在Kick It California (英文網頁)及ASQ《華語戒煙專線》找到戒煙資源。我們通過提供六種語言的免費戒煙支援助以及為聽障人士提供的服務,

餐廳禁煙後,我們的餐點吃起來更添美味。

TRAN — 西敏市,加州

她是一家傳統餐廳的老闆,回憶起1995年的禁煙令如何驅散了餐廳中的煙臭味,並迎來飯菜美食香味。

我不賣電子煙。那種醜惡的東西就算有再多的利潤也不值得。

MARIA — 洛杉磯,加州

她是一位便利商店的老闆,為保護家人及社區,決定不要販售電子煙。

如果沒有人站出來,你就是被提名的那一位。

ANDREA — 聖地牙哥,加州

當Andrea因吸入洛杉磯辦公室的二手煙而生病時,她創下提起侵犯人身及人身攻擊訴訟的歷史。

尼古丁等於毒害大腦

尼古丁是一種會令人上癮的毒物及神經毒素12

尼古丁對於孩子和年輕成人的大腦尤其危險,會加重焦慮不安、抑鬱、情緒起伏和學習困難的情況。3456

揭露危害
適用於煙草零售商的口味煙草法律

販售口味煙草屬違法行為

加州法律禁止零售商販售大多數的口味煙草產品,包括電子煙及薄荷醇香煙。請遵守法律以避免支付罰款並可拯救生命。7

遵守法律(英文網站)
煙草業正試圖裝扮成你的知心好友

煙草商的夢想是所有人的噩夢

煙草商試圖向我們推銷一個不吸香煙的未來。他們的欺騙不但危險,甚至還會致命。891011

了解真相
煙草商的小謊言大欺騙

煙草商是全球最大的塑料污染者12

煙蒂是由微塑料製成,微塑料的微小有毒纖維會污染我們的食物鏈,並可能進入你我身體。13141516

揭穿謊言
黑人的生命與健康同樣重要

薄荷醇香煙銷售法拯救黑人生命

終止銷售薄荷醇香煙可以阻止煙草商對黑人社區的策略性殺害,以提升所有人的健康平等。1718 加州的口味煙草法主要針對煙草零售商,而不是因煙草業而造成上癮的人。

立即戒煙

所有的目光都集中在加州,因為加州再次引領全美乃至全球對抗煙草的爭鬥。經過數十年的創新和各種大膽的新計劃,加州有望成為全球首個終結煙草流行病的地區。19

馬修·L·邁耶斯(Matthew L. Meyers) — 總裁(已退休),無煙兒童運動

[UNDO 是]公共衛生的典範,我們加州的吸煙率不但低而且不斷下降,這證明了你們所做的事情是有成效的。20

澤維爾·貝塞拉(Xavier Becerra) — 美國衛生與公眾服務部部長

終結口味煙草的販售,顯然能讓我們更加邁近目標,也就是創建一個所有社區和未來世代都擺脫煙草業控制的加州。21

Pam Ling醫學博士 — 加州大學舊金山分校醫學教授

我拒絕接受這些產品會永遠與我們同在的想法22
