Smoke Free Pennsylvania

On June 13, 2008, Governor Rendell signed into law Senate Bill number 246, also known as the Smoke Free Pennsylvania Act.  This act is scheduled to become effective 90 days from the date of signature (early September 2008).  For a copy of the legislation, click here.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health (PADOH) is currently in the process of interpreting the law and will be providing additional information to the public regarding exemptions, enforcement, and implementation.  To ask a question about the law or receive updated information, please visit the PADOH website
