In July 2003, New York State implemented the Clean Indoor AirAct (CIAA) to reduce exposure to environmental tobacco smoke(ETS). In this cross-sectional study, workers (n=168) completedan interview assessing ETS exposure and provided urine for cotinineanalysis. Hospitality workers recruited after implementationof the CIAA had significant reductions in ETS exposure and urinecotinine, compared with those recruited before implementation.The New York State CIAA yielded measurable reductions in ETSexposure for hospitality workers.
