Secondhand Smoke: Changing Environments

Given the effectiveness of smoke-free places in protecting people from the health hazards of secondhand smoke, N.C.’s law allows local smoking limits in government buildings, government grounds, parks, community and other college campuses, and public places. The TPCB and its many partners have worked together to reduce secondhand smoke, using local smoke-free air rules and ordinances.

To learn about North Carolina’s Smoke-Free Restaurants and Bars law, which went into effect January 2, 2010, visit SmokeFree NC.
