McDonald's Moves to Ban Smoking in Company Stores
McDonald’s Corp will immediately ban smoking at all 1,400 company owned restaurants, aiming to push franchisees to follow. The policy, to be implemented in weeks as signs are shipped, builds on consumer pressure and follows prior no smoking moves by chains such as Chuck E. Cheese and Carl’s Jr. The action aligns with rising scrutiny of secondhand smoke and support for the Smoke-Free Environment Act of 1988.
