Effective April 15, 2006, indoor public places and workplaces across the State will be smoke free. New Jersey's Smoke-Free Air Act ensures that 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.

Secondhand smoke is a serious health concern for everyone. The Act states that tobacco smoke constitutes a substantial health hazard, and therefore, it is clearly in the public interest to prohibit smoking in enclosed indoor spaces.

"This new law is an important step in eliminating one of the most significant public health threats that we face today…It will reduce smoking-related illnesses and save lives for generations to come."
