FRANKFORT, Ky., July 12 (UPI) — Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher has signed an order banning state workers from smoking in buildings controlled by the executive branch.

Fletcher said he signed the order to create healthier work environments for thousands of state employees, as well as many members of the general public, the Lexington Herald-Ledger reported.

The executive order comes on the heels of a new state anti-smoking law that took effect Wednesday, giving the state’s executive branch, local governments and universities the authority to prohibit smoking in government-owned buildings.

Previously, all government buildings were required to have a designated area for smokers, the newspaper said.

State Public Health Commissioner William Hacker said Kentucky has the highest smoking rate in the country and the second highest prevalence of pregnant women who smoke.
