1 | AN ACT concerning public health.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | Sec. 2. Legislative findings.
The General Assembly finds | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | that tobacco smoke is
harmful and dangerous to human beings and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | a hazard to public health. Secondhand tobacco smoke causes at | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | least 65,000 deaths each year from heart disease and lung | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | cancer according to the National Cancer Institute. Secondhand | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | tobacco smoke causes sudden infant death syndrome, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | low-birth-weight in infants, asthma and exacerbation of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia in children and adults. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | Secondhand tobacco smoke is the third leading cause of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | preventable death in the United States. Illinois workers | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke are at increased risk of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | premature death. An estimated 1,570 Illinois citizens die each | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
24 | year from exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke.

11 | and appointed officials of the State of Illinois
and of any | ||||||
12 | unit of local government and of any school district, or their
| ||||||
13 | designee, having control over property of the State or of a | ||||||
14 | unit of local
government or of a school district which includes | ||||||
15 | a public place, and the
proprietor of a structure which | ||||||
16 | includes a public place may establish an
area on the premises | ||||||
17 | as a smoking area where smoking shall be permitted,
unless | ||||||
18 | otherwise prohibited by law or ordinance , until 2 years after | ||||||
19 | the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th General | ||||||
20 | Assembly, at which time the restaurant, bar, or tavern shall | ||||||
21 | comply with subsection (b) of this Section or Section 4 of this | ||||||

33 | or similar technologies that render the exposure to secondhand | ||||||
34 | smoke in the area equivalent to exposure to secondhand smoke in | ||||||
35 | the ambient outdoor air surrounding the public place shall be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | exempt from the prohibition of Section 4 of this Act. The | ||||||
2 | Department shall adopt rules specifying the types of | ||||||
3 | technologies that satisfy the requirements of this subsection | ||||||
