Compliance with Chapter 3794 of the Ohio Revised Code was required beginning on Dec. 7, 2006.
The major requirements of the statute include:
Prohibiting smoking in any public place or place of employment.
Removing all ashtrays and other receptacles used for disposing of smoking materials from any area where
smoking is prohibited by the statute.
Posting conspicuous signs in every public place and place of employment where smoking is prohibited, including
at each entrance. The law (R.C. 3794.06) requires these signs to say "No Smoking" or have the international "No
Smoking" symbol (consisting of a pictorial representation of a burning cigarette enclosed in a red circle with a red
bar across it). The signs must be clearly legible and shall contain the toll free number established by the Director of
Health for reporting violations [1-866-559-OHlO (6446)].
Downloadable versions of sample signs are posted on the ODH website, http://www.odh.ohio.gov.
Discontinuing smoking when asked to do so by a proprietor or any employee of an employer of the public place,
place of employment or establishment, facility or outdoor area.
To ensure that you are aware of your requirements to comply with the law, we have enclosed a summary to help you
in implementing the law. A full text version of the law and administrative rules can be found at
(http://www.odh.ohio.gov).
If you or your establishment are found in violation of the law and have received no findings of violation of the SmokeFree Workplace Law within the past two years, you may receive a letter of warning. If you or your establishment
have received a letter of warning within the past two years, a finding of violation may result in a fine ranging from
$100 to $2,500 for businesses and up to $100 for individuals. For questions about compliance or enforcement
please call (614) 644-6220.
