Today, the Senate passed, 24-11, a bill that would ban smoking in the workplace regardless of the number of employees.
Current law, prohibits smoking at business facilities with five or more employees.
The bill applies to a self-employed individual, even if they do not have an employee. It does not apply to someone who runs a business out of their home. It does, however, allow for employers to designate one or more smoking rooms.
The House still needs to be vote on the bill.
