Smoke-Free Illinois Act

The Smoke-Free Illinois Act is a law that bans smoking in most indoor public places and workplaces across Illinois to protect residents from secondhand smoke. It applies to restaurants, bars, workplaces, and public transportation areas, promoting healthier environments. The law also restricts cigarette sales to minors and requires designated smoking areas outside buildings. Its goal is to reduce health risks associated with tobacco exposure, encouraging a cleaner, safer space for everyone. Employers and business owners must comply to ensure they are providing smoke-free environments as mandated by law.
