The aggregation of NHPI smoking data with that of Asians has drawn attention away from the serious smoking problems that NHPIs experience, thus, limiting funding, programs, and policies to reduce tobacco-related health disparities in their communities. In California, community-based organizations (CBOs) have played a major role in supporting the state\u2019s comprehensive tobacco control program, which is arguably one of the most successful in the nation. In this commentary, we describe the tobacco control activities of five NHPI-serving CBOs in Southern California and how they have provided anti-tobacco education for thousands of Native Hawaiians, Chamorros, Marshallese, Samoans, Tongans, and other Pacific Islander subgroups, and used advocacy and coalition building to promote smoke-free environment policies in their communities. The concerted efforts of the CBOs and their community members have made vital contributions to the reduction of tobacco-related disparities for NHPI populations in California.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1524839913486150","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,11]],"date-time":"2013-05-11T00:12:57Z","timestamp":1368231177000},"page":"36S-39S","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Eliminating Tobacco Disparities Among Native Hawaiian Pacific Islanders Through Policy Change"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Paula Healani","family":"Palmer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cevadne","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lola","family":"Sablan-Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guam Communications Network, Long Beach, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan Tana","family":"Lepule","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"California State University, Fullerton, Fullerton, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Victor Kaiwi","family":"Pang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pacific Islander Health Partnership, Santa Ana, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vanessa","family":"Tui\u2019one","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tongan Community Service Center, Hawthorne, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dorothy","family":"Schmidt-Vaivao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Samoan National Nurses Association, Carson, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Melanie Dee","family":"Sabado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roger","family":"Sur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"California State University, Fullerton, Fullerton, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sora P.","family":"Tanjasiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"California State University, Fullerton, Fullerton, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1524839913486150","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1990.03450120082034"},{"key":"bibr2-1524839913486150","volume-title":"California Health Interview Survey","author":"California Health Interview Survey","year":"2005"},{"key":"bibr3-1524839913486150","volume-title":"California Health Interview Survey","author":"California Health Interview Survey","year":"2007"},{"key":"bibr4-1524839913486150","volume-title":"California Healthy Kids Survey","author":"California Healthy Kids Survey","year":"2010"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr5-1524839913486150","first-page":"A78","volume":"5","author":"Caraballo R.
