What’s in it

This bill provides for the application of Code chapter 142D (smokefree air Act) to vapor products. Under Code chapter 142D, smoking is prohibited and a person shall not smoke in public places, all enclosed areas within places of employment, areas declared smoking places by the person having custody or control of the area, and outdoor areas, with exceptions. A person who smokes in an area where smoking is prohibited is subject to a civil penalty of $50. A person who owns, operates, manages, or otherwise has custody or control of a public place, place of employment, outdoor area, or area declared a nonsmoking place who fails to comply with Code chapter 142D is subject to a civil penalty ranging from $100 for a first violation to $500 for each violation in excess of a second violation within one year.

An employer who discharges or in any manner discriminates against an employee due to an employee’s complaint, provision of information, or legal action under the Code chapter is subject to a civil penalty of not less than $2,000 and not more than $10,000 for each violation. Noncompliance with the Code chapter by a person who owns, operates, manages, or who otherwise has custody or control of a public place, place of employment, area declared a nonsmoking place, or outdoor area regulated under the Code chapter may result in the suspension or revocation of any permit or license issued to the person for the premises on which the violation occurred.
