Vermont Becomes Nation's 9th
Smokefree Workplace State
Last week, Vermont Governor Jim Douglas signed
Vermont's smokefree workplace bill into law. The law which provides clean
air for all Vermont workers, including bar, pub, tavern, cabaret, and nightclub
workers, goes into effect on September 1.
Vermont joins California, Delaware, New York,
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Montana as the
nation's 9th state to enact smokefree workplace legislation for all workers,
including restaurant and bar workers.
