The Village of Oak Park became 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. 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 that went into effect this summer, following a recommendation from the Board of Health and subsequent approval by the Village Board. Funding for the new signs 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.
