CONCORD — The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health Services announced that the administrative rules related to the Indoor Smoking Act have been updated. The rules were amended as a result of legislative changes to include the use of e-cigarettes and devices in the Indoor Smoking Act’s definition of smoking.
“Tobacco use is a risk factor for many different diseases, including heart disease, stroke, lung disease, and various types of cancers,” said Dr. Sai Cherala, DPHS Bureau Chief of Population Health and Community Services. “It also puts people at higher risk for complications of COVID-19 because the disease creates negative outcomes for people with compromised respiratory symptoms. About 16 percent of adults in New Hampshire report use of tobacco products and one of the things users of tobacco can do to improve their health is to quit.”
