July 15, 2015 - The Village of Oak Park has become the first municipality in the state to go tobacco-free after implementing new policies prohibiting the use of tobacco products on all Village-owned properties. Oak Park is only the second government organization to do so in the state.
The initiative codifies the Village’s intention to provide a healthy environment for employees, customers and visitors to its many facilities and properties in Oak Park. Tobacco use - including smoking, chewing tobacco and using electronic cigarettes or vaporizers - is prohibited on all Village properties. This includes Village Hall, Public Works Center, police stations, fire stations and municipal parking garages.
The new policy pre-empts the traditional clause that prohibits smoking within 15 feet of a building entrance. Signs have been posted on all Village properties reflecting the new policy.
"This policy reflects a commitment at all levels of Village government to improve the health of residents and visitors," said Interim Health Director Lisa Shelley.
The new policy went into effect this summer, following a recommendation from the Board of Health and subsequent approval by the Village Board. Funding was provided by a grant from the Illinois Tobacco-Free Communities program, part of the Illinois Department of Public Health. As a Village ordinance, the tobacco-free policy is now part of official Village Code.
Enforcement will begin in October and will focus primarily on education and connecting tobacco users with smoking cessation resources.
