To learn more about the Smoke-Free Illinois Act, visit the Illinois Department of Public Health website . The site provides a variety of materials, including free printable No smoking/no vaping signs, details about the law, and frequently asked questions.

Businesses are required to post No Smoking or E-Cigarette Use signs at all entrances of their establishment. Signs can be downloaded below or requested by completing the CUPHD Request Form.

The Smoke-Free Illinois Act does not prohibit smoking in private residences, including apartment complexes. If you are experiencing smoking nuisances in your residence, we encourage you to discuss with the property manager and see if smoking is included in lease terms. Although C-UPHD is unable to enforce any smoking complaints towards private housing and apartment complexes, smoking can impact neighbors due to second and third hand smoke exposure. We encourage all members of our community to be considerate neighbors.
