OUT Against Big Tobacco Los Angeles (OABT-LA) is the LGBTQ+ regional project in Los Angeles made up of LGBTQ+ individuals and community organizations that collectively work together to address tobacco control and health inequity issues within California’s LGBTQ+ community.
We make policy changes targeted to reduce the tobacco-related health disparities within the LGBTQ+ community. We’re fighting back and working to enact the following policies throughout Los Angeles County and the state of California:
- Restrict the availability of ALL flavors in ALL tobacco products. No Exceptions.
- No longer allow redemption of discounts and point-of-sale price reduction promotions for the purchase of ANY tobacco product.
If you have questions, please reach out to Program Coordinator, Jessica Esquivel (she/her).
