Project API-CHAT

About Us

BACR is a nonprofit organization supporting individual and community development throughout the Bay Area. Asian Pacific Islander Coalition for Health Against Tobacco (API-CHAT) is a project within BACR. API-CHAT aims to work with the Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community to promote healthy environments that protect our community. The tobacco industry targets AANHPI communities through deceptive marketing, higher tobacco retailer density and lower prices in communities of color, and the creation of culturally familiar and kid-friendly flavors in tobacco vaping products. We’re fighting back to protect the next generation from the tobacco industry.
