The number of states (including the District of Columbia) with comprehensive smoke-free laws increased from none in 2000 to 28 by June 9, 2016. Despite this progress, only two states (North Dakota and California) have achieved comprehensive smoke-free status since 2010. With California\u2019s removal of exemptions in their smoke-free law on June 9, nearly 60 percent of Americans are now covered by comprehensive smoke-free laws at the state or local level, up from less than three percent in 2000.<\/p>\n<p>In 14 of the 23 states with no comprehensive statewide smoke-free laws, local laws protect some residents. However, nine states lack any local or state comprehensive smoke-free law, including eight that prevent localities from passing smoke-free laws. Local protections vary widely. Local smoke-free laws protect 60 percent of West Virginians and more than 30 percent of Texans, South Carolinians, and Kentuckians. However, local laws protect only 2.4 percent of Georgians and less than 1 percent of people in Arkansas and Wyoming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTen years ago, the Surgeon General concluded there is no risk-free level of secondhand smoke exposure,\u201d said CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden, M.D., M.P.H., in a news release. \u201cWe\u2019ve made great progress in protecting many Americans from secondhand smoke exposure, but millions of Americans, especially those living in southern states, are still unprotected from this completely preventable health hazard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Exposure to secondhand smoke causes heart disease and lung cancer, which together kill more than 41,000 American non-smokers every year. And even brief exposure to secondhand smoke harms health. Completely eliminating indoor smoking is the only way to fully protect non-smokers. Separating smokers from nonsmokers, cleaning the air, and ventilating buildings cannot eliminate secondhand smoke exposure.<\/p>\n<p>Data on secondhand smoke exposure and smoke-free laws are available
