Recently, according to a report by Morningjournal, the state of Ohio in the United States has made amendments to the "Ohio Smoke-Free Workplace Act", which now includes e-cigarettes. This law, which has been in effect since 2007, was originally intended to provide protection against secondhand smoke in indoor public places but did not address e-cigarettes at that time.
In September 2021, the legislature in the state of Ohio passed legislation that includes e-cigarettes under the existing law. This means that it will be prohibited for anyone to use an e-cigarette in indoor public places, including businesses, restaurants, and bars.
Mark Adams, the Lorain County Public Health Commissioner in Ohio, stated in a press release, "The Lorain County Public Health Department remains committed to assisting nicotine users in implementing smoking cessation programs.
Since undergoing a reassessment and update of its self-regulatory rules, the Ohio Department of Health has been taking multiple measures to educate businesses in Ohio about the updates in the law. This includes statewide paid media campaigns and providing guidance to businesses to assist and support nicotine users.
