PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE TO TOBACCO USE IN OHIO

There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke. It causes stroke, lung cancer, and coronary heart disease in adults. Ohio has a comprehensive smoke-free law that prohibits smoking in all indoor areas of workplaces, restaurants, and bars, which has been in effect since 2006. Since that law was adopted, Ohio has continued to inform efforts to protect residents from exposure to secondhand smoke. Upon request, the state provides research, data and analysis, and scientific consultation to communities, multiunit housing operators, hospitals, businesses, and colleges and universities that want to protect residents from secondhand smoke. Currently, 13 colleges and universities have adopted tobacco-free campus policies in the state, and public housing authorities in 8 counties or cities have adopted policies making housing units smoke-free.
