Nearly six months after Beverly Hills made headlines with its prohibitions against smoking and tobacco products, the City’s Ambassadors continue to educate hundreds of people each month on the rules that govern the City.

Despite the City’s recent efforts to increase educational outreach via signage, with over 100 new signs across the business district alerting people to the fact that there’s no vaping or smoking in most of Beverly Hills, the number of in-person “contacts” made by BH Ambassadors actually increased by 20 percent from the 597 contacts made in October 2018.
