Our Tobacco Prevention and Education Program (TPEP) responds to violations of the Oregon’s Indoor Clean Air Act (ICAA) and has seen an increase in complaints recently. Our enforcement focuses on relationship building, education, and making our community a safer place for everyone to live, work, shop, and play.
The ICAA protects people in our state from the health risks of secondhand smoke. The ICAA prohibits smoking in a workplace and within 10 feet of all entrances, exits, and accessibility ramps that lead to and from an entrance or exit, windows that open and air-intake vents. This applies to smoking, vaporizing, and aerosolizing of inhalants in and around public places and places of employment.
Anyone may report violations of the ICAA by completing an online complaint form or by calling 1-866-621-6107.
