On January 1, 2008, Illinois will become the 22nd smoke-free state in the nation. Beginning in the New Year, there will be no more smoking in any indoor workplace or public place. This includes all offices, warehouses, factories, transportation facilities/garages, private clubs, and banquet halls, as well as restaurants, bars, and bowling alleys.
As a result of the Smoke-Free Illinois Act and the health risk secondhand smoke has on our employees and visitors, the Bensenville Park District will be implementing a new smoke-free policy on January 1, 2008. After this date, there will be no smoking anywhere indoors of within 15 feet from doorways, windows, and vents.
