COMMUNICABLE DISEASE CONTROL PROGRAM

The Communicable Disease Control Program strives to provide education and prevention programs to decrease the spread of infectious diseases. This is accomplished through investigation, screening, referrals, and follow-up of residents with a reportable communicable disease. 

Smoke Free Illinois

The Smoke-Free Illinois Act (410 ILCS 82; Public Act 095-0017) is a comprehensive anti-smoking law that took effect in Illinois on January 1, 2008 and bans smoking in most buildings and vehicles used by the general public, used as a place of employment, or owned by the government or other public body.

All indoor public places and workplaces must be smoke-free, including 15 feet from doors, windows and vents. This includes private clubs, public transportation, government vehicles, and common areas of multi-unit housing. There are some exemptions for tobacco retailers, hotels, and long-term care facilities. For more details, see our handout: Smoke-free Illinois FAQ for businesses


 Individuals can file a complaint by calling the Illinois Department of Public Health's toll-free complaint line at 866-973-4646 (TTY 800-547-0466, hearing impaired use only) or on-line through this website.
