Implementing in Particular - Outdoor Sites

Smokefree Air Everywhere is New Jersey GASP's book-length why and how manual for decision makers in workplaces and public places. You can see the Outdoor Settings chapter of it below.

Since that book was published, there's been a veritable mountain of additional information supporting smokefree policies and legislation, and there's been a vast change in attitudes and behaviors in response to that new information, culminating in hundreds of state and local smokefree air laws, including, of course, the New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act (NJ SFAA).

Highlights of the updated supporting information, plus recent New Jersey-specific information and implementation suggestions, are being added frequently to this website and pertinent data will be added here soon. The new information, arriving almost daily, universally strengthens the rationale and need for smokefree environments.

The implementation information in Smokefree Air Everywhere has changed less, and implementation has become easier and easier, largely because of the new supporting information, plus the changes in attitudes and behaviors. And the NJ SFAA takes the decision to be smokefree out of the hands of owners and managers. Many New Jersey employers and proprietors have said they welcome that; now they can just tell employees and patrons, "It's the law."
