Secondhand smoke regulations

Secondhand smoke regulations aim to protect non-smokers from the harmful effects of cigarette smoke. These laws typically ban smoking in indoor public places like restaurants, workplaces, and bars, and sometimes in certain outdoor areas. They are designed to reduce exposure to toxic chemicals that can cause health problems such as respiratory issues, heart disease, and cancer. These regulations vary by location but generally prioritize public health and encourage safer, smoke-free environments for everyone.
