New Jersey Becomes Nation's 11th Smokefree Workplace State
New Jersians will soon be breathing a little easier now that acting Governor Richard J. Codey signed the smokefree workplace bill into law.
Under the new law, employees and customers of restaurant and drinking establishments will now be able to avoid the dangers of secondhand smoke.
"The data says smoking kills. It's not just an annoyance," said New Jersey's Commissioner of Health, Fred M. Jacobs. "That's where we got the traction to get this done."
The new law will go into effect on April 15.
