In Public Places
Maine is Making Progress
Maine is the only state to have received all As from the American Lung Association, and our report card shows the most significant progress in the area of smoke-free air. Smoking is prohibited in all indoor public places and workplaces (including company vehicles) in Maine, and we are proud to be among the first states requiring public places and worksites to be smoke-free. These actions have significantly limited exposure to secondhand smoke.
Our strong action is making a difference – we’re saving lives and reducing our health costs, and that’s improving lives for everyone in Maine.
