Smoke-Free Wisconsin SignsWisconsin Act 12 -the recently passed smoke free air law that covers all workplaces and public places – has a requirement that all businesses display no smoking signs incorporating the universal “no smoking” symbol. The American Lung Association of WI has offered the Chamber these signs free of charge for our members. It is a 5x7 window cling that can be affixed to any glass surface. These signs are at the Chamber Office. Stop by and get yours today. There is no charge.
