On December 8, 2005, Washington will become the 10th state to implement a comprehensive statewide law prohibiting smoking in all indoor public places.
For more information go to:
Washington state residents voted on November 8, 2005, to amend the 1985 Clean Indoor Air Act. Initiative Measure 901 will expand the definition of “public place” to include a reasonable distance around each public facility, defined as 25 feet from entrances, exits, windows that open, and ventilation intakes that serve an enclosed area where smoking is prohibited. The definition of “public place” includes private residences used to provide licensed childcare, foster care, adult care, or similar social services. The definition would also be expanded to include the following types of facilities: schools, bars, taverns, bowling centers, skating rinks, casinos, reception areas, and at least 75 percent of the sleeping quarters within a hotel or motel and rented to guests.

Community Assessment
In 2003, the Benton Franklin Health District embarked on a community assessment which was based on the Key Health Indicator Report Card which is part of Washington State’s Public Health Improvement Partnership. Utilizing the framework of the state-wide indicators, an assessment was done to approximate the measurements on the state report card. The Gilmore Research Group in Seattle was the contractor for administering and analyzing the telephone survey based on the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Additional data was collected to complete the report card and the total results were compiled as part of a thesis by an MPH student from the University of Washington.
