YOUR PHONE CALL CAN HELP STOP SMOKING VEHICLES

Smoking vehicles are detrimental to California's air quality. Here's how you can help reduce harmful air pollutants caused by smoking vehicles:

  • Keep up the maintenance on your own car, truck, or other vehicle.  A well-maintained vehicle is a cleaner-running vehicle.

  • Report smoking vehicles on the roadway.

Please have this information ready to report:

  • Vehicle Type
  • License Plate Number
  • Date and Time of the Incident
  • Location of the Incident

To report a smoking vehicle, you may submit a complaint form to the ARB, call the ARB or the local Air Pollution Control District, or call #SMOG from a cell phone within greater California.
