“…Understanding the beliefs, use of power resources, role of policy brokers, and external events can provide information that will be valuable to other coalitions seeking to adopt smoke-free policies in their own policy subsystems. Other studies have used the ACF to better understand regulation of the use of electronic cigarettes (Myers, 2016), tobacco taxes (Hoe et al, 2021), banning shisha smoking in Iran (Khayatzadeh-Mahani et al, 2017), and other areas. This study builds on these and other studies by providing details on the perspectives of decision makers involved in the passing of smoke-free policies and using this information to make recommendations for future policy campaigns.…”

Coalitions in Horizon City in El Paso County, Texas and the El Paso Community College (EPCC) had previously attempted to pass smoke-free policies in 2008 and 2016, respectively; however, both policies failed to pass at those times. The coalitions refocused their activities and were successful in passing policies in EPCC in 2020 and in Horizon City in 2021. We employed a participatory case study method to understand what factors changed between the first and second attempts at smoke-free policy adoption in Horizon City and EPCC. Using the Advocacy Coalition Framework as a basis for analysis, we identified the role of coalitions, their beliefs, use of power resources, role of policy brokers, and external events. We identify best practices and make recommendations for coalitions seeking to adopt smoke-free policies in other locations.
