SMOKE FREE ARIZONA

NEWSLETTER

The Smoke-Free Arizona Act, A.R.S. 36-601.01 (“the Act”), regulates smoking

in vehicles when the vehicle is owned and operated by the employer during working hours when
the vehicle is occupied by more than one person. In a taxi, for example, the driver can smoke
inside the vehicle when the driver is alone. As soon as the taxi has a passenger, the driver is no
longer allowed to smoke in the vehicle.

The Act allows proprietors to implement a stricter in-house smoking policy prohibiting

smoking inside company vehicles if they so choose. We encourage employees and the public to
follow the smoking policy set by the company.

A proprietor must firmly affix at least one sign to a vehicle door window, dashboard, or an
area visible by each occupant.

The Act does not address smoking in a private vehicle and Program officials can only enforce
the provisions defined in the Act.
