The Smoke Free Illinois Act (410 ILCS 82) bans smoking in enclosed public places and within 15 feet of building entrances. Cook County DPH enforces in unincorporated areas and contracting suburbs. Many Cook municipalities added park, beach, and outdoor-dining smoking bans on top of the state floor.
Illinois adopted the Smoke Free Illinois Act in 2007, banning smoking in enclosed public places, workplaces, and within 15 feet of any entrance, exit, window, or air intake. Coverage now includes electronic cigarettes for indoor purposes under amendments to 410 ILCS 82. Cook County DPH Tobacco Program enforces in unincorporated areas and roughly 120 contracting suburbs; Chicago, Evanston, and other independent health departments enforce within their own boundaries. Many Cook suburbs added outdoor smoking bans for parks, beaches, train platforms, and outdoor dining, including Oak Park's beach ban and Evanston's lakefront rule. Tobacco-21 also applies countywide under both state and federal law.
Smoke Free Illinois Act violations carry fines from $100 to $250 for individuals and up to $2,500 for repeat business owners under 410 ILCS 82/35. Local park or beach smoking fines run $50 to $500 per offense.
