Henry and Stark County Health Department Reminding Business Owners About Smoke Free Illinois

SHARE NOW

February marks American Heart Month, an initiative from the Henry and Stark County Health Departments. Tobacco use, a significant risk factor for coronary disease and stroke, has taken center stage in local efforts. Countering its harmful effects, the departments uphold the Smoke-free Illinois Act, banning smoking in public venues and workplaces, and within 15 feet of entrances, exits, windows, and ventilation intakes. Smoke-free signs and the removal of ashtrays are obligatory. Non-compliance penalties, including fines, are in place. With smoking culminating in over 480,000 U.S deaths annually, Heart Month serves an urgent reminder of the dangers of tobacco.
