"...the tobacco industry's pervasive marketing in our scene has manufactured an image that [creative people] smoke. So now young people that look up to us believe that smoking is more important than creativity, music and self-expression to fit in. We're out to change this distorted image of the scene," says Commune.

Each month, Commune showcases a local artist voted by San Diego residents. This month, Commune features Lucy Duarte who commented on why she thinks Commune is effective: "They don’t come and lecture you as to why smoking is bad...They really do a great job getting involved with the community and integrating good health, good music and good art all in one event."
