Tobacco Legislation

Clean Indoor Air Act
As of July 24, 2003, public and work places across New York State became smoke-free. This includes bars and restaurants. By expanding New York's 1989 Clean Indoor Air Act to include nearly all public and work places, the state ensures both that all workers have a safe workplace and that all nonsmokers, including children and senior citizens, can breathe smoke-free air in the public places they visit.

Call your local health department if you observe smoking in any of these places:
Private Offices Bowling Alleys
Bars Break Rooms
Restaurants Company Vehicles
