Bill > SB845

This bill, known as the "Smoking Cessation and Prevention Act of 2017," aims to reduce smoking rates and protect children from the dangers of smoking in Oklahoma. It requires conspicuous signage in public places where smoking is prohibited, prohibits the use of tobacco products on state-owned or leased properties (with exceptions for Oklahoma Veterans Centers), and tasks the State Department of Health and the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust to inform the public about the dangers of smoking in vehicles with children present. The bill also introduces a $1.50 per pack "smoking cessation fee" on cigarettes, with the revenue going towards the new Health Care Enhancement Fund to enhance the health of Oklahomans.
