Smoke-free policies
Smoke-free policies are regulations that prohibit smoking in certain areas to protect public health and reduce exposure to secondhand smoke. These policies often apply in places like workplaces, restaurants, schools, and parks. The goal is to create healthier environments by minimizing the harmful effects of tobacco smoke, which can lead to serious health issues for both smokers and non-smokers. Smoke-free policies also encourage smokers to quit and promote a culture of health and well-being within communities.
