Secondhand Smoke Helpline
(408) 999-0500

People who have questions, complaints or other issues regarding secondhand smoke are encouraged to call the helpline to learn what they can do to safeguard health. This often includes: local residents who are exposed to a neighbor’s secondhand smoke, people who want to log a complaint about bars/restaurants that are not complying with non-smoking laws, and those who have concerns about their own exposure to secondhand smoke.

The Secondhand Smoke Helpline is staffed weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. At other times, you can leave a message on the answering machine and a helpline staff person will return your call during normal hours.
