If you are interested in enacting a Clean Indoor Air ordinance in your community, we strongly recommend you start with the model ordinance provided by Americans for Nonsmokers’ Rights (ANR). ANR’s model ordinance for 100% smokefree workplaces and public places has been used by hundreds of cities and numerous states. The purpose of the model ordinance is to provide fair and sound language that clearly states the intent and specific points of smokefree policy, fosters clear implementation and enforcement, stands up to legal challenges, and achieves the health goal of protecting people from secondhand smoke.

If you are interested in reviewing a Kansas community ordinance, Topeka recently passed a strong ordinance.
