Office of Addiction Services and Substance Abuse (OASAS) Tobacco Use and Substance Abuse Facilities

With the enactment of the Part 856 Tobacco-Free Services Regulation on July 24, 2008, New York became the first state in the nation to require its Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) licensed and/or funded chemical dependence service programs to implement tobacco-free environment policies and to provide tobacco dependence education and treatment interventions.
