The Community Services Preventive Task Force, an independent, nonfederal, unpaid body, appointed by the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recommends smoke-free policies based on sufficient evidence of effectiveness in reducing tobacco use among workers.

The findings of this review complement the previous Task Force recommendations for smoking bans and restrictions based on strong evidence of effectiveness of these policies in reducing exposures to secondhand tobacco smoke.

To help organizations maximize this opportunity to help smokers quit, the California Smokers' Helpline is offering a free Smoke-Free Policies and Cessation Kit.

The Kit includes a Smoke-Free Policies and Cessation fact sheet, step by step guides for developing, implementing, and enforcing smoke-free polices at hospitals and community health facilities, and order information for customized NO SMOKING outdoor stickers and signs that feature 1-800-NO-BUTTS.
