Smokefree Environments

All Americans deserve to live, work, study and play in smokefree environments. By implementing laws and policies to make our communities smokefree, we can:

• Protect all workers and patrons from the dangers of secondhand smoke
• Reduce death and diseases associated with secondhand smoke
• Motivate smokers to quit
• Reduce the number of people who start smoking

See how we are taking steps to make sure everyone in all 50 states can enjoy clean, smokefree air.
