What is the law in California about smoking in the workplace?
HRCalifornia
California employers may not knowingly or intentionally permit the smoking of tobacco products at a place of employment or in an enclosed space. This prohibition includes permitting non-employees to smoke in an enclosed workplace. The prohibition also applies to owner-operated businesses.
E-cigarettes and other nicotine-delivery devices, such as vaporizers, are also covered by the smoking in the workplace ban.
A sign stating "No Smoking" or "Smoking Is Prohibited Except In Designated Areas" must be posted at each entrance to the building.
