Breathe Easy Indiana – No-Smoking Law Effective July 1

Posted on June 27, 2012 in HR Insights for Health Care

Written by: Stephen W. Lyman

Indiana’s statewide smoke-free air law begins July 1, 2012 and every county in Indiana will be covered by a smoke-free air law. Nearly all public places in the state, including restaurants and other workplaces, will be smoke-free.

Breathe Indiana Website

The state has established a very helpful website that will help Indiana employers and their employees comply with the new No-Smoking Law and Breathe Easy.  Transitioning to a smoke-free business requires planning and education. BreatheIndiana.com is designed to help Hoosiers understand the new law.

Employer Toolkit

The website contains a link to free resources for employers.  To help employers have a smooth, controversy-free start, the Breathe Easy Indiana toolkit is available for FREE. The kit includes resources to educate employees and customers about the new smoke-free air law and what’s expected.  Each kit includes samples of materials available for order: window/door decals, posters, brochures, coasters, fact sheets explaining the law, an employee training sheet, transition checklist and free quitting resources for employees.

The website also contains an excellent section on FAQs.  Check it out and Breathe Easy Indiana!
