Smoke-Free Workplace Law

Starting July 5, 2004 all Massachusetts workplaces, including restaurants and bars, will be smoke-free.

The Massachusetts Smoke-Free Workplace Law is primarily intended to protect workers from health hazards resulting from exposure to secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke is a Class A carcinogen as determined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

As of July 5, 2004, all workplaces that have one or more employees must be smoke free. Designated smoking areas or smoking rooms are not permitted.

For complete information about the Massachusetts smoke-free workplace law visit the Massachusetts Department of Public Health website at www.mass.gov/dph/mtcp or call 1-800-992-1895.
