Thursday marked the start of a smoke-free Montana as the Montana Clean Indoor Air Act went into effect.
Enforcing the act will be a gradual process that utilizes education and the Internet to make the transition to smoke free.
Gallatin County Clean Indoor Air Act coordinator Rick Gale is asking for the public's help in reporting offenders.
"Go online through the Montana Quit Line Web site, fill out your name, address and the violation that you saw that goes against the Health Department Code," Gale said.
Violations can be reported online at tobaccofree.mt.gov or tobaccofreegallatin.org or by calling 1-866-787-5247. Emails can also be sent to infotobaccofree@mt.gov.
