SHOULD YOUR ESTABLISHMENT BE SMOKE-FREE?

If you’re a business owner and you aren’t sure if your establishment is required to be smoke-free, here is how you can find out:

  • If you have an AR License, you are required to be smoke-free.
  • If you have an AG6 License, you are required to be smoke-free.
  • Only businesses that possess an AG License can permit smoking.

Upon license renewal, the Louisiana Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC) will indicate your smoking status on your new license. For more information visit the ATC Web site.
