Tobacco-Free State Properties

In order to protect the health of all state employees and visitors to state-owned properties, to drive down a significant determinant of health care costs, and to increase productivity, Gov. Fallin issued an Executive Order on February 6th, 2012 which will prohibit the use of tobacco products “on any and all properties owned, leased, or contracted for use by the State of Oklahoma, including but not limited to all buildings, land, and vehicles owned, leased or contracted for use by agencies or instrumentalities of the State of Oklahoma.” As stipulated in this Executive Order, implementation must be achieved by August 6, 2012.
