Smoke-Free Law

A Smoke-Free Law is a regulation that prohibits smoking in designated public places, such as restaurants, workplaces, parks, and transportation systems. Its goal is to protect nonsmokers from secondhand smoke, which can cause health problems like asthma and heart disease. These laws also encourage smokers to quit or reduce their tobacco use. By creating smoke-free environments, the law promotes healthier communities and reduces exposure to harmful tobacco fumes for everyone. It typically includes rules for enforcement and may specify penalties for violations.
