Clean indoor air laws and regulations

It is illegal to smoke tobacco (including cigarettes, cigars, hookah) or use electronic smoking devices such as e-cigarettes, e-cigars, e-pipes and e-hookah in areas that are smoke-free under the Clean Indoor Air Worker Protection Law. This includes all outdoor dining and service spaces.

Landlords in Philadelphia must provide their tenants with a written disclosure of the building policy on smoking in individual dwelling units. See Section 9-805. Smoking Disclosure Policy in Multi-Family Buildings of the Philadelphia Code for more information.
