Smoke-Free Public Places

Smoke-free Workplaces

As more and more scientific evidence mounts about the dangers of secondhand smoke, workplaces nationwide are going smoke-free to provide clean indoor air and protect employees and customers from the harmful, life-threatening effects of secondhand smoke.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), involuntary exposure to secondhand smoke remains a common, serious public health hazard that is entirely preventable by adopting and enforcing appropriate regulatory policies.

Smoke-free environments are the most effective method for reducing secondhand smoke exposure and decreasing business costs.

For more information on implementing a voluntary smoke-free policy in your workplace that isn't covered by the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act, download a Guide to a Smoke-free Workplace. A Spanish version: Guía de Capacitación Para el Desarrollo de Empresas Libres de Humo de Tabaco is also available to download. PDF (296 KB)
