Kentucky state property is going cold turkey on Great American Smokeout day, ending the use of all tobacco products and electronic cigarettes on executive branch state property Thursday.

Executive branch buildings were already smoke-free inside. Gov. Steve Beshear's executive order includes all tobacco products and executive branch state property.  

The changes means sidewalks, parking lots and state-leased buildings are included in the ban. The Personnel Cabinet says tobacco users will have to leave the property to smoke or use other tobacco products.  

Some facilities have been granted limited or partial exemptions.
