"For decades, the City of San Francisco and the State of California have led the way to ensuring that places open to the public are smoke-free. We've collectively done so to protect people from the now indisputable harms of secondhand cigarette smoke."
"In San Francisco we've gone further, with our Board of Supervisors in 2010 voting unanimously to mandate that all San Franciscans have smoke-free access to nearly all spaces open to the public across the city."
"The laws are so comprehensive that you can't even smoke in a tobacco shop or at a charity bingo event. Under city and state law, vaping is also prohibited in smoke-free public spaces."
California and San Francisco have established extensive smoke-free laws to safeguard public health from secondhand smoke. These laws prohibit smoking in workplaces, restaurants, parks, and public transit. San Francisco's regulations are particularly strict, ensuring smoke-free access in nearly all public spaces, including outdoor dining and recreational areas. The laws also extend to vaping. The efforts reflect a commitment to reducing the health risks associated with smoking and secondhand smoke exposure, significantly improving the quality of life for residents.
