The IHPR works to prevent tobacco use and cancer among Latinos. As a partner in the San Antonio Tobacco Prevention & Control Coalition, the IHPR analyzed the impact of a potential comprehensive smoking ordinance on bars and restaurants, which helped lead to such an ordinance. The IHPR also produced a booklet, ¡Buena Vida! A Guide to Help You Quit Smoking, that tells the stories of five Latinos who quit smoking.
