Borough Council shall comply with Section 10.1 Clean Indoor Air. The purpose of this section is to protect the public health and to provide for the comfort of all parties by regulating and controlling smoking in certain public places and at public meetings and in certain workplaces. The Act states that "No person shall smoke in an area designated nonsmoking by the proprietor or person in charge, in a public place or at a public meeting." The Act states, further, in Section 15.1 Preemption, that "This Act shall preempt and supersede any local ordinance or rule concerning the subject matter of Sections 3.5 and 10.1 of this Act."

The Council President or person conducting the public meeting shall grant a ten-minute recess every hour on the hour.
