The Gold Country Region, originally established as a media market, is made up of 14 counties in north, central California. The SOL Project is currently focusing on Sacramento, San Joaquin and Yolo Counties within the Gold Country region to create awareness on flavored tobacco product restrictions, to update smoking definitions in existing smoke-free laws to include combustible and non-combustible, synthetic and plant-based products and to advance California's goal for tobacco's end game. The SOL Project trains and supports a youth coalition, known as the SOLdiers, who advocate on tobacco-related issues that are important to them.
