Washington DC Tobacco Control is a department within the DC Department of Health that focuses on reducing exposure to secondhand smoke by implementing laws and regulations that restrict smoking in public places. They work to enforce the Department of Health Functions Clarification Amendment Act of 2006, which prohibits smoking in most public areas and makes it a violation for individuals or establishments to permit smoking in prohibited areas.
The department ensures that virtually all workplaces, including employee lounges, restrooms, and conference rooms, are smoke-free. They also enforce the smoking ban in enclosed public places such as banks, healthcare facilities, educational facilities, and laundromats, among others.
