Smokefree Laws

Smokefree laws are regulations that ban smoking in certain public places, such as restaurants, workplaces, and bars. Their goal is to protect people from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke, which contains many toxic chemicals. These laws help improve air quality, reduce health risks for nonsmokers, and encourage smokers to quit or smoke less. They may vary by location but generally aim to create safer, healthier environments for everyone. By limiting where people can smoke, smokefree laws support community health and promote tobacco-free lifestyles.
