Smoke-Free Palmetto State Certification

Local leaders committed to smoke-free protections from both secondhand smoke (SHS) and secondhand aerosol (SHA) from e-cigarettes deserve recognition for their dedication to the health and well-being of their community. Smoke from cigarettes and cigars and aerosol from e-cigarettes/vape devices increase particulate matter in the air which can lead to severe asthma attacks, heart attacks, and lung cancer in non-smokers. Certification requirements include:

• Adoption and implementation of a comprehensive smoke-free ordinance providing protection from both secondhand smoke (SHS) and aerosol toxins from e-cigarettes/vapes
• This applies to all indoor workplaces, restaurants, and bars
• NO "grandfathering" - allowing existing workplaces to be exempt from the ordinance
• NO waivers - allowing workplaces to apply for a waiver complying with the ordinance
