SMOKEFREE PHILLY: LOOK GOOD FEEL GOOD

The Clean Indoor Air Worker Protection Law protects Philadelphians from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke by making virtually all workplaces in the City smoke-free.

Two separate bills were passed by Philadelphia City Council and signed into law. Both laws amend Chapter 10-600 of the Philadelphia Code, entitled "Public Places ­ Prohibited Conduct" by prohibiting smoking in public places and in the workplace and providing for penalties, all under certain terms and conditions.
