Legal topic(s)
New York State’s comprehensive Clean Indoor Air Act (CIAA) became effective March 26, 2003 prohibiting smoking in virtually all work-places in the state. An observational study of public venues including restaurants, bars and bowling alleys took place to obtain baseline and one year post-implementation compliance with results presented in “The Health and Economic Impact of New York’s Clean Indoor Air Act”, New York State Department of Health July 2006 report. This report provides information from the 2006 follow-up observation designed to extend our knowledge of the level of compliance in restaurants and bars across New York State three years after the CIAA took effect.
