Congrats to Michigan!

Starting May 1st, Michigan went smoke-free! All bars, restaurants, and other workplaces went smoke-free.

Michigan's smoke-free is considered comprehensive because it includes all workplaces like offices or manufacturing facilities but also restaurants and bars.

There are some standard exemptions like for cigar bars, tobacco retailers, the gaming floor of certain state-run casinos.

Some great earned media efforts from across the state:
