Employers have a short time to comply with the updated law, and the American Lung Association and Heartland Family Service want to assist with resources and support at no cost.
Businesses can receive free technical assistance to employers regarding strengthening, planning, implementing, complying, and maintaining smoke and tobacco-free policies, in addition to support for employees to quit tobacco.
