ILLINOIS IS NOW A SMOKE-FREE STATE

Illinois is now a smoke-free state. Smoking is prohibited in almost all enclosed public places and workplaces, and within 15 feet of an entrance. Smoking is not restricted in private homes, retail tobacco stores, rooms used only by smokers in nursing homes, and designated hotel sleeping rooms. Violations of this new law carry a minimum $100 fine.
