About Us
The Oregon Smokefree Housing Project is coordinated by Diane Laughter, MPH. Her public health consulting firm, Health In Sight LLC, contracts with the Tobacco Prevention & Education Program, Oregon Health Authority and other agencies to do this work.
Diane was one of the leaders of the Portland-Vancouver Metro Smokefree Housing Project and worked with both Guardian Management and the Housing Authority of Portland as they prepared for and implemented their no-smoking policies. She has worked on smokefree housing for over six years, for the American Lung Association in Oregon and now with her own firm, Health In Sight LLC. She develops materials and tools for property managers and provides technical assistance to tobacco prevention coordinators as they encourage and support local landlords in adopting no-smoking policies.
