Expanded
Smoking in Public Places Law Now in Effect

On December 8, 2005, Washington became the 5th state to
implement a comprehensive statewide law prohibiting smoking in all
indoor public places and workplaces including restaurants, bars,
taverns, bowling alleys, skating rinks, and non-tribal casinos. All
Washington residents have the right to breathe clean air. The
comprehensive smoking law protects families, children, workers, and
the elderly from secondhand smoke. For more information on
