In 2006, Philadelphia passed the landmark Clean Indoor Air Worker Protection Law, protecting Philadelphians from secondhand smoke exposure in most restaurants, bars, and workplaces. Smoke-free policies have since expanded to public and private housing, recreation centers and parks, colleges and universities, and behavioral health treatment settings.
Overview
The Department of Public Health works with individuals and organizations to develop tobacco-free policies for:
