Tobacco Prevention & Education Program

Oregon's ICAA protects nearly all Oregonians from the harms of secondhand smoke. The ICAA creates smoke-free public places and places of employment with the intent of protecting the health of employees and the public. Tobacco remains the main cause of preventable death and disease in the United States, including in Oregon. For more information, click here.

What is an ICAA Violation?

Anyone smoking or vaping tobacco or marijuana or carrying a lighted smoking instrument inside of a business in an ICAA violation. This includes work vehicles that are not operated exclusively by one employee, as well as hotels and motels.

Anyone smoking or vaping tobacco or marijuana or carrying a lighted smoking instrument within 10 feet of a door, a window that opens, or the air intake vent of a business is in violation of the ICAA.
Any ash receptacles located inside a business or within 10 feet of a door, a window that opens, or the air intake vent of a business is a violation of the ICAA.
Outdoor tables within 10 feet of a door must be labeled as non-smoking and non-vaping. The presence of an unlawful enclosed smoking area is also a violation. For more information and examples, click here.

How do I Report an ICAA violation?

To file a complaint, visit the Oregon Health Authority's website or call 1-866-621-6107.
