LEGISLATYVE' The Smoking,Pollution Control Act of 1986
REFERENCE
TITLE' AN ' ACT' to amend the administrative code of the
city of',Nsw York in relation to the control of
pollution from smoking.
SLAMMARY OF This act will (1)' protect the public health and
PROVISION'S' welfare by prohibiting smoking in public places
except in designated smoking area~s, and by
regulating smoking in places of employment; and(2), strike aa
rea~sonable balance between the needs of persons who smoke and the
need of nonsmokers to breathe smoke-free air, and to recognize
that, where these needs conflict, the need to breathe smoke-free
air shall have priority.
Specifically, the act prohibits smoking in all enclosed! public
places within the City of'New York, including elevators:, buses,
taxicabs and other means of public transit, retail stores, and all
public areas, at a71l businesses and non-profit organizations.
Restaurants and enclosed sports arenas and convention halls may

adequate ventilation is provided. Theaters may designate up to
50% of lobby space for smoking..
ASso,, all empSoyers are required to implement and maintain a
written smoking policy which acknowledges and protects the ri!ght
of any employee to smoke-free air. Any employee may designate his
or her work area as a, nonsmoking area. E~nployers must take stepss
such as reassigning employees to a different work area or
improving ventilation in order to minimize or eliminate:the
effects of smoke on employees. in any dispute, the:health
concerns of the nonsmokers will be:given precedence:.
The act does not regulate: srnoking in bars, private residences,,

such a waiver, is not contrary to.the.rights of nonsmokers. The
act allows any owner or operator of a facility to designate all or
any portion of'the facility as anonsmoking area.
. ~

REASONS FOR The most direct positive effect of such alTaw
SUPPORT would be tolencourage smoking cessation; and
reduce the amount of passive smoking., The
effects of smoking on the incidence of cancer, heart disease, and
other illness is well-established. Besides the immediate
discomfort and annoyance associated with exposure to secondhand
smoke, epid'emiologica~l studies indicate there is a possible
relationship between passive smoking and disease.
Reliable studies have shown that breathing second-handl smoke is aa
significant healthl hazard for several population groups, including
elderly people, individuals with cardiovascular disease, and
individuals with,impaired respiratory function, including,
asthmatics and those with obstructive airway disease.
Respiratory problems, decreased exercise tolerance, d!ecreasedd
respiratory function, bronchoconstriction, and bronchospasm halve
been related'to long term exposure to secondhand smoke.
Nonsmokers who suffer fromiallergies and respiratory disea~ses may
have their conditions aggravated by secondhand smoke and, as aa
result, experience a loss of job: productivity or be forced to takee
periodic sick leave because of such adverse reactions.
It is clear that a! reduction in, or overall elimination of',,
secondhand smoke will benefit many employers through an increase
in productivity on the part of' their nonsmoking employees. while
this regulation is not d'esigned to directly influence smokers to,
quit, it does,afford employers the chance to provide their
non-smoki:ng employees &more comfortable, less distracting,
smoke-free workplace, as well as put pressure on smokers to quit.
Smoking!is a potential cause of fires, and cigarette andcigar
burns and ash stains onimerchand!ise and fixtures cause losses to
businesses.
Experience:from other municipalities and counties.also indicates
an additional benefxt derived from,nonsmoking ordinances in the
form of alsubstantial increase in the number of people actively
seeking informationlon, or enrolling in, smoking cessation,
programs. As smoking becomes less socially acceptable,
(restrictive ordinances have!the effect of focusing attention on
the distastefui aspects of tobaccolconsumption) more and more
people will actively attempt quitting.
In California, the state with the longest and most extensive
experience with nonsmoking regulations, state law regulates
smoking inisupermarkets, health faciTities, public meetings and
certain parts of publically-owned, buildings. S'eventy-two cities:
and counties have significant nonsmoker protection laws
supplementing the existing state law. At least 42% of the
population of California lives in a place where a, smoking policy
is required of private employers., And, new ordinances are being
enacted at the rate of several a month.

3'.
Among California cities~and counties, at least:.
0 59 regulate smoking in priva~te workplaces
0 61 require nonsmoking sections in restaurants
0 51 restrict smoking in retail stores
Over-two thirds of those California ordinances covering smoking,inn
the: workplace allow employees to designate their own, area as
nonsmoking and give ultimate preference to the rights of
nonsmokers..
The experience of other cities indicates that the cost of
implementing and maintaining a restrictive non-smoking ordinance
is unexpectedly low relative toithe benefits .
Ih~June,1983, San, Francisco received national attention when: theBoard!of Supervisors
passed!legislation regulating smokingiinithe,
workplace., As with the New york City Smoking Pollution Control
A~ct,, it requires that employers make known and maintaiina written,
smoking policy. If an acceptable compromise cannot be reached
between smokers and nonsmokers, smoking is to be prohibited
entirely. Also, as with, New York's proposed, law, the ordinance
provides for penalties if employers do not comply withithe
legislation.
W~ithin a short time a groupisupported almost entirely by tobacco
company contributions collected enough signatures to bring the
ordinance before the voters in the form of a proposition. This
g,roup!subsequently spent 1.2 million dollars campaigning, against
the ordinance. It claimed that it would be expensive!to
administer and would divert attenti'on from other important
activities of the health department. In addition,, opponents
contended that government intrusion into an arealthat should be a
private matter between individuals wouTd cause increased
antagonism and would'incite litigation involving employers,
employees, and the city.
It has become clear that the law is not the leviathan originally
envisaged by its opponents. One:year after enactment:
o.there had been a total of 1241 complaints
related to enforcement in the workplace..,
0 only one~citation had been issued'.:
o there were no legal actions either by the city
or against the city because of the ordinance.
o there had been.no new employees hired for the
programr one Oepartment of Health inspector
handles all complaints an a, part time basis CZ)
o.no additional funds were requested or needed UT
to enforce the:law ~,

In San Diego, a city ordinance: regulating smoking in indoor public
places has been in effect since January, 1975. Like the proposed
New York City law, the ord!inace now covers virtually all retail
sales and service establishments, cultural institutions, public
conveyances, health care facilities, food marketing esttablishrnents
and restaurannts and', it requires the posting, of' ad'visory signs soo
the public will be aware where smoking is permitted and' where it
is not.
San Diego's experience has shown that a high percentage of smokers
will comply voluntarily to reasonable regulations and prominentt
signingi. Except as allast resort, that city!"s efforts have
focused'on promoting public awareness and seeking voluntary
compliance and cooperation, rather than prosecuting violation!s. A
survey of' San Diego' s business community by the ci',ty' s
administration, including comments from the Restaurant
Association, uncovered no indication that the restrictive.
ordinance,or the,a~dministrationof' it, works an unreasonablehardship on business in San Diego.
T.heMinnesfltaiCleanIndoorA~ir Actwasenactedin:19175toprotect
the public health by prohibiting smoking inipublic places exceptt
in designate ismoking areas. A public place wad specifically
definedto include a place of work. In general there has been
broad acceptance of this law among employers. The Minnesota
Department of'Health has been receiving an average of about 137
complaints per year from nonsmoking employees involving alleged
workplace violations. Virtually all of these complaints have beenn
resolved satisfactorily' through correspondence and discussions
between State Department of Health personnel, the employer, and
the employee. According toistate officials there have been no,
lawsuits involving workplace violations. Also, there have been no
grievance proceedings which have arisen under labor contracts
because of the application of the lawto the workplace.
All in all,, the Minnesota law has resulted in significant progress
in protectiing nonsmokers fromiambi:ent tobacco smoke at the
workplace, without an undue hardship on employers and smoking,
employees. This has been achieved with minimum governmental
intervention and at no additional public tax cost. knd, a recent
survey indicated this law is approved by 92% of Minnesota
residents (smokers and nonsmokers).
As these examples indicate, it is possible for ordinances
protecting the rights of nonsmokers to be implemented with modest
enforcement monies or personnel added in response
Those counties and municipalities which have been
implementing these ordinances in alcost-effectiv!e
spent the greatest amount of time andenergy w.ith,

Specifically, The Smoking Pollution~ Control Act of 1986 is an
appropriate ordinance for The City of New York in that it respects
the! needsof' nonsmokers while, at thesamee time, recognizing the
economic realities faced'by employers and businessmen such as
restaurant owners. while the act disallows smoking in all
enclosed public places, there are provisions for establishment of
smoking~areas, in restaurants and places ofemployment., Also
included are guidelines for recognizing the needs of'smokers and
nonsmokers within the framework of'reasonabTe cost to employers
and businesses.
Up to now, New York City has relied on public education and
voluntary action to promote the right of nonsmokers to breathe
smoke free air. These efforts~, while helping many people to quit,
did not ensure this right. For example, last summer the New York
City Department of Health offered to publish and distribute the
names of' those restaurants~ which voluntarily set aside 25% of
their seating capacity as nonsmoking area. 0'f the 15,0'00~
resttaurants who were contacted by mail, only 4'05' restaurants
responded positively.
It should be noted'that a U'.S. Government poll has shown that a
majority (170'$), of Americans desire tolhave restrictions on smoking
in public places and places of employment. It is clear the time,
has come for New York City to stand up for nonsmokers inia more
assertive andiproactive manner.,
As you know, less than 3'0% of adult New York City residents
smoke. By reinforcing the growing sense that smoking is a
socially unacceptable activity carried out by a relatively small
group, this initiative can be, in a sense, a self-fulfilling
prophecy.

A LO C.?.I. LAW
To amend the administrative code of the city of
New York, in relation to the control of' poliiltion
from smoking;
Be it enacted by the CitY' CouneiP as foll©ws :~
Section 1. Declaration of' legislative findings and intent. The

Numerous studies have found that tobacco smoke is a major
contributor to indoor air pollution;, and
Reliable studies have shown that breathing' second-hand smoke is
& significant heaith hazard for several population grrmups,, inc!liding
the eiderl{y people, iindividuaLs with cardiovascular disease, and
individuals with impaired respiratory function, including asthmaucs
and those with obstructive airway disease; and
Health hazards induced by breathing, second-handi smoke: include
lung, cancer, respiratory infection, decreased exercise tolerance,,
increased respiratory infection, bronchoconstriction, and
bronchospasm; and
N'onsmokars who suffer from allergies, respiratot^y diseases and
other ill' effects of' breathing seuondhand, smoke may experience a loss
of job: productiv'ity or may, be forced to take periodic sick leave
because of such~adverse reactions; and
Numerous studies have: shown that a majprity of both nonsmokers
and smokers desire that there be restrictions on smoking in public
places and places, of' employment; and
Smoking is a potentiai cause of fires, and cigarette and cigar,
burns and ash stains on merchandise and, f'ixtures, causing losses to
businesses.
Accordingly, the council finds and deciares thnt the purposea of
this law are (1) to protect the public heaith, and welfare by

SUPPLEb1'ENT.SRY' INFORMATION:IThe
General Service Administration has
determined that this rule is not a major
rule for the purpose of E.0:12_91 of'

Therefore, a Regulatory Impact Analysis
has not been prepared. GSA has'based
alliadministr!ative decisions underlying
this rule an adequate information,
concerning the need for, and the
consequence of, this rule: has
determined that the potential benefits to
society from this rule outweigh the
potential costs and has maxim+im the

SUMMARY: Th%s regulation provides for
revised smoking regulations in buildings
controlled by GSA. It has become
necessary to regulate smoking in certain
areas of Federal buildings because
smoke in a confined area may be
irritating,aad annoying to non-smokers.
In addition, the Office of the Surgeon
General has indicated that current
scientfic evidence suggests that
exposure t'o ambient tobacco smoke can
be hazardous to non-smokers and may
create a potential hazard toithose

The!read'i'ness and well being of Total Army members
and their families challenge us to deal with,the problem
of tobacco use. Medical evidence shows overwhelmingly
thatthe!use!of tobacco products adversely impacts Onthe health andireadiness ofour force. Tobacco
usage
impairs such critical military skilLs as, night vision,
hand-eye coordination, and! resistance to cold weather
injuries. Moreover, it, increases susceptibility to
disease. It h.as become a substantial threat to the
well-being of our Army, and' we must take immediate
steps to eliminate its usage.
Every Army member is charged to make this goal a
reality. All of us have a clear responsibility in~
making this h.appen,. As part, of the Army Tobacco
'Cessation Action F1'an, we will encourage smokers to
quit through a program of' education, information, and'assistance: We will also safeguard the health
of
smokers. and nonsmoker~s alike by limiting theareas in
which, smoking willbepermitte'd. Finally, we will
check on all forms of tobacco usage from time to:time
to determine progress. in,meeting our goal.We believe
thiis campaign is~ absolutely essential to maintain, the
health anri.readiness of our Army.
Ours is aprofession unique in many respects,,
requiring physical fitness and.stamina to get the job
done. Each of us must be ready physically to endure
the strains of'a crisis. Additionally, caring leader-
ship dictates. that we demonstrate a sincere., unambig-
uous concermfor the health and safety of those
entrusted to our, care.
