16-35 WORKPLACE SMOKING POLLUTION CONTROL ORDINANCE.

16-35.1 Legislative Intent.

   The use of tobacco for smoking purposes is found to be increasingly dangerous and life-threatening, not only to the person smoking, but also to the nonsmoking person who is required to breathe air contaminated by environmental tobacco smoke. The most pervasive intrusion of the nonsmokers’ right to a healthy, unpolluted air space is the uncontrolled smoking in the workplace. The Boston City Council’s intent, by the passage of this Section, is to protect the health and welfare of the nonsmoker by regulating smoking and the discomforting effect it creates in the confined environment of the workplace.
