Why isn the policy being implemented at all DHS worksites?
The affected worksites were selected for initial implementation because DHS occupies the entire building or property at those locations. The other locations that DHS shares with other state agencies, organizations or businesses, including field offices located in strip malls. The policy will not be in effect at these worksites at this time. However, DHS has a long-term goal of implementing the tobacco-free policy at all worksites. The policy will be implemented at these shared locations as new lease agreements are negotiated.
