Kansas and Wisconsin Implement Comprehensive Smoke-free Laws
On July 1 and July 5, Kansas and Wisconsin became the 21st and 22nd states to implement comprehensive smoke-free legislation that requires 100 percent smoke-free non-hospitality workplaces, bars and restaurants. With these additions, there are now 35 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, that require some combination of 100 percent smoke-free workplaces and/or restaurants and/or bars. Additionally, more than 3,000 municipalities have local laws in effect that restrict where smoking is permitted. Combined, this represents more than three-fourths of the U.S. population.
