List of smoking bans in the United States
Map of current and scheduled future statewide smoking bans as of 18 June 2011 (2011 -06-18)

The following is a list of smoking bans in the United States. For smoking bans and restrictions outside the United States, see the worldwide list of smoking bans.

The United States Congress has not attempted to enact any nationwide federal smoking ban. Therefore, smoking bans in the United States are entirely a product of state and local criminal and occupational safety and health laws.

As further detailed in this list, smoking laws vary widely throughout the United States. Some places in the United States do not generally regulate smoking at all, some ban smoking in certain areas and not others, and some ban smoking nearly everywhere, even in outdoor areas (no state bans smoking in all public outdoor areas, but some local jurisdictions do). As of October 7, 2011, according to the American Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation, 79.6% of the U.S. population lives under a ban on smoking in "workplaces, and/or restaurants, and/or bars, by either a state, commonwealth, or local law,"[1] though only 48.5% live under a ban covering all workplaces and restaurants and bars.[2] A smoking ban (either state or local) has been enacted covering all bars and restaurants in each of the 60 most populated cities in the United States except these 17: Arlington, TX, Atlanta, Fort Worth, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Memphis, Miami, Las Vegas, Nashville, New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Tampa, Tulsa, and Virginia Beach.[3][4]

Overview

Statewide bans on smoking in all general public places

As of November 2011, 27 states have enacted statewide bans on smoking in all enclosed public places, including bars and restaurants: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin.

However, these states exempt a variety of places from their respective smoking bans. All except Delaware, Montana, Utah, Vermont, and Washington exempt tobacconists. All except Michigan and Vermont allow hotels and motels to designate a certain percentage of smoking rooms. Many also exempt or do not cover casinos (9), private clubs (7), cigar bars (13), or certain small workplaces (7). The following is a table of common exemptions from these 26 states' smoking bans:

States that exempt tobacconists States that exempt cigar bars States that exempt private clubs States that exempt casinos States that exempt small workplaces
AZ, CA, CO, CT, HI, KS, IL, IA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, NE, NJ, NM, NY, OH, OR, RI, SD, WI CA, CO, CT, MA, MI, NE, NJ, NM, NY, OR, RI, SD, WI AZ, CT, IA, KS, MA, NY, OH CT, IA, KS, ME (OTB parlors, beano and bingo halls), MI, NJ (including OTB parlors), NM, RI (including OTB parlors), WI CA (5 or fewer employees), CO (3 or fewer employees), CT (5 or fewer employees), NM (1 employee), OH (family owned and operated), UT (1 employee), VT (1 employee)

In Connecticut, Oregon, Montana, Utah, and Wisconsin, the state law preempts local governments from enacting stricter smoking bans than the state, though some cities and/or counties in some of those states have enacted local versions of the state's smoking ban. In the other 19 states with a statewide general smoking ban, some cities and/or counties have enacted stricter local smoking bans to varying degrees. The strictest smoking ban in the United States is in Calabasas, California, where smoking anywhere a non-smoker could congregate, including public sidewalks and apartment complexes, is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of at least $250.[5]

Statewide smoking bans exempting bars

As of November 2011, 6 states ban smoking in most enclosed public places, but permit adult venues such as bars (and casinos, if applicable) to allow smoking if they choose: Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. In Florida, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee, state law preempts local governments from enacting stricter smoking bans than the state, though in the other four states, some cities and/or counties have enacted stricter local smoking bans to varying degrees, in some cases banning it in all enclosed workplaces. See individual state listings below for details.

Unique statewide smoking bans

As of November 2011, six states have enacted smoking bans in particular places that do not fit in the other categories:

  • Georgia bans smoking in restaurants where persons under 18 years of age may enter, but allows most anywhere else either to designate smoking areas indoors or allow smoking freely; local governments in Georgia can and have passed stricter smoking bans than the state.
  • Idaho bans smoking in restaurants, but exempt both bars (which can be 100% smoking) and small workplaces (which can have a designated smoking area); local governments in Idaho can regulate smoking more strictly than the state.
  • Nevada generally bans smoking in all public places and places of employment, but exempts bars, casinos, strip clubs, brothels, and retail tobacco stores, and restaurants that do not allow patrons under 21 years of age. In all other restaurants, smoking is relegated to separately-ventilated designated smoking areas. Local governments in Nevada may regulate smoking more strictly than the state.
  • New Hampshire bans smoking in restaurants and some bars (those besides cigar bars and private clubs), schools, and certain common areas open to the public, but not anywhere else, and state law prohibits local governments from enacting local smoking bans.
  • North Carolina bans smoking in all restaurants and bars (excluding cigar bars and private clubs), as well as government buildings and vehicles, but does not regulate smoking anywhere else. Local governments may regulate smoking more strictly than the state, except in cigar bars, private clubs, tobacco shops, private residences/vehicles, designated hotel/motel smoking rooms, and theatrical performances involving smoking.
  • In Virginia, smoking is banned in schools, state offices, and certain healthcare facilities and common areas, but not anywhere else; in restaurants (including bars), smoking is relegated to separately-ventilated designated smoking rooms. The state law prohibits local governments from regulating smoking more strictly than the state.

States with no statewide smoking ban

As of November 2011, 11 states have not enacted any general statewide ban on smoking in any non-government-owned spaces: Alabama, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Instead, laws in most of these states (see individual state listings below for further information) require proprietors of certain places to designate smoking and non-smoking areas and post warning signage.

In Oklahoma, state law prohibits local governments from regulating smoking more strictly than the state, making it the only state without any kind of legislated smoking bans. In the other 10 states, cities and/or counties have enacted stricter smoking laws than the state, in some cases banning smoking in all enclosed workplaces. In Alabama, Indiana, and Mississippi, the state smoking law expressly allows all local governments to do so. In Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, and West Virginia, a court has ruled that certain local governments have the power to do so. See the individual state listings below for details.

Smoking laws and non-states

In the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands, smoking is banned in all enclosed public places, including bars and restaurants. Guam prohibits smoking in restaurants, but the ban doesn't extend to workplaces, or any other businesses. The Northern Mariana Islands prohibits smoking in most workplaces and restaurants, but no ban on smoking covering bars.

Smoking bans and the U.S. federal government

Although Congress has not attempted to enact a general nationwide federal smoking ban in workplaces, several federal regulations do concern indoor smoking. Effective April 1998, smoking is banned by the United States Department of Transportation on all commercial passenger flights in the United States, and/or by American air carriers.[6] This was long after Delta Air Lines had banned smoking on all of its flights. On August 9, 1997, President Bill Clinton issued Executive Order 13058, banning smoking in all interior spaces owned, rented, or leased by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, as well as in any outdoor areas under executive branch control near air intake ducts.[7]

Smoking laws of the United States by state

 Alabama

  • No statewide smoking ban. Instead, Alabama's 2003 statewide smoking law, the Alabama Clean Indoor Air Act, generally prohibits smoking in public places and public meetings[8] unless a smoking area is designated that in certain places must be "enclosed and well ventilated."[9] Warning signs must be posted appropriately.[10] Bars, lounges, retail tobacco stores, limousines under private hire, designated hotel/motel smoking rooms, and psychiatric facilities are entirely exempt from the Act's regulation.[8] Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the Act,[11] and the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals reiterated this in August 2009.[12]
    • Proposals to enact a statewide smoking ban in Alabama, all but one of which were sponsored only by State Senator Vivian Davis Figures, have failed in the Alabama Legislature every year since 2008. In May 2008, a bill by Sen. Figures to ban smoking in all enclosed workplaces, including bars and restaurants, failed when it did not receive a vote before the end of the legislative session.[13] In April 2009, Sen. Figures withdrew a similar bill after the Alabama Senate amended it to allow smoking in bars, the bar sections of restaurants, dog tracks, and gambling halls.[14] In April 2010, a bill by Sen. Figures to ban smoking statewide only in restaurants passed the Senate by a vote of 19-3 but did not receive a vote in the Alabama House of Representatives.[15] In April 2011, a bill by Sen. Figures to ban smoking in all enclosed workplaces, including bars and restaurants, failed when it did not receive a vote in a Senate committee, and a similar House bill by Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin failed the same way.[16]

 Alaska

  • No statewide smoking ban.

Smoking is prohibited only in: (1) schools during school hours, except in designated areas where minors cannot be present, (2) meetings of state or local government public bodies, (3) non-psychiatric hospitals, health care facilities, and doctors' offices, and (4) elevators.[18] In (1) public transportation vehicles and depots, (2) workplaces, government offices, and places of entertainment or recreation, (3) universities or adult daycare facilities, (4) courtrooms or jury deliberation rooms, (5) state capitol chambers when not in session, (6) residential healthcare facilities and psychiatric facilities, (7) restaurants that seat more than 50 people, (8) grocery/food stores, (9) places of employment posting a sign stating that smoking is prohibited by law, (10) correctional facilities, and (11) the Alaska Pioneers' Home or the Alaska Veterans' Home,[19] a smoking area may be designated, with no limit on its size,[20][21] but must post appropriate warning signage.[22] All other places are entirely exempt from regulation. The Alaska state smoking law is silent as to whether cities can regulate smoking more stringently.

The law does not cover businesses located on Indian Reservations, as the reservations are sovereign nations.[26][27]

 Arkansas

  • Statewide smoking ban excluding bars: On July 21, 2006, the Arkansas Clean Indoor Air Act of 2006 went into effect, banning smoking in all enclosed workplaces in Arkansas, exempting only private residences, hotel and motel rooms designated as smoking rooms, workplaces with fewer than three employees, retail tobacco stores, desigated areas in nursing homes, outdoor areas, workplaces of tobacco manufacturers (and importers and wholesalers), restaurants and bars that do not allow patrons younger than 21, and gaming floors of operations regulated by the Arkansas Racing Commission.[28] Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the state law.[29] At the same time, the Arkansas Protection from Secondhand Smoke for Children Act of 2006 went into effect, prohibiting smoking in a motor vehicle carrying a child under age six years old who weighs less than 60 pounds and is in a car seat.[30]

  • Statewide smoking ban: Since January 1, 1995, smoking has been banned in all enclosed workplaces in California, including restaurants and bars (bars were excluded until January 1, 1998), exempting only the following areas: workplaces with five or fewer employees (as long as all workers consent and persons under 18 are prohibited from the smoking area), 65% of the guest rooms of hotels/motels, lobby areas of hotels/motels designated for smoking (not to exceed 25% of the total lobby floor area or, if the lobby area is 2,000 square feet (190 m2) or less, not to exceed 50% of the total lobby floor area), meeting and banquet rooms except while food or beverage functions are taking place (including set-up, service, and clean-up activities or when the room is being used for exhibit activities), retail or wholesale tobacco shops and private smokers lounges (i.e. cigar bars), truck cabs/tractors if no nonsmoking employees are present, non-office warehouse facilities with more than 10,000 square feet (930 m2) of total floor space and 20 or fewer full-time employees working at the facility, theatrical production sites if smoking is an integral part of the story, medical research or treatment sites if smoking is integral to the research or treatment being conducted, private residences except homes licensed as family day care homes during the hours of operation and in those areas where children are present, patient smoking areas in long-term health care facilities, and employee breakrooms designated for smoking.[31] Effective January 1, 2004, California bill AB846 bans smoking within 20 feet (6.1 m) of the entrance or operable window of a public building ("public building" means a building owned and occupied, or leased and occupied, by the state, a county, a city, a city and county, or a California Community College district.) The law also prohibits smoking in state owned vehicles.[32][33] Additionally, effective January 1, 2008, smoking in a moving vehicle while in the presence of a minor (18 years or younger) is an infraction; the charge is not serious enough to be pulled over, and only can be cited along with a stricter offense, such as a moving violation or traffic accident.[34][35] Local jurisdictions may regulate smoking more strictly than the state. Many California communities have established smoke-free registries for private residential apartment buildings, which range from complexes where smoking is entirely prohibited (whether inside private dwellings or outside) to those where certain sections of dwellings may be designated as smoking dwellings. Most California cities allow landlords to regulate smoking at will.

But this law was somewhat weak because it allowed smoking after 10pm therefore in 2009, a new bill was passed and signed into law restricting smoking with in 20 feet of public buildings.[69] Several advocates and health groups are still working towards strengthening this law but they face several barriers some which include the simple fact that there's a huge military base in Guam.[70]

 Illinois

  • Statewide smoking ban: On January 1, 2008, the Smoke Free Illinois Act went into effect, banning smoking in all enclosed workplaces, including bars, restaurants, and casinos, and within 15 feet (4.6 m) of such places; exempts certain retail tobacco stores, private and semiprivate rooms in nursing homes occupied exclusively by smokers, designated smoking rooms in hotels/motels, and private residences.[80] Smoking is prohibited in private residences when defined as a place of employment such as when used for child care or foster care.[80] Local governments may regulate smoking more strictly than the state.[80]

 Indiana

  • No statewide smoking ban. Instead, Indiana's 1993 statewide smoking law, the Clean Indoor Air Law, generally prohibits smoking in state government buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, fire and police stations, childcare and daycare facilities, healthcare provider offices, retail areas of grocery and drug stores designated as nonsmoking, dining areas of restaurants designated as nonsmoking, and school buses during school hours or when transporting children.[81] In state government buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, fire and police stations, childcare and daycare facilities, and healthcare provider offices, the proprietor may designate a smoking area, but does not have to, and in either case must post warning signage as appropriate.[81] The law covers no other places, and the state is empowered to grant waivers from this law.[81] Local governments may regulate smoking more strictly than the state law.[81]
    • Attempts in the Indiana General Assembly to enact some manner of statewide smoking ban have failed every year since 2007. In April 2007, the Indiana Senate removed a smoking ban from a health care funding bill passed by the Indiana House of Representatives, and in January 2008, a proposed statewide smoking ban introduced by Rep. Charlie Brown died in a House committee without a vote or debate.[82] In April 2009, another proposed statewide ban introduced by Rep. Brown was passed by the House by a vote of 70-26 after being amended to exempt restaurants, bars, and casinos, and then did not receive a committee hearing in the Senate.[83] In February 2010, another proposed ban by Rep. Brown was denied a committee hearing or vote in the Senate after having been passed by the House, 73-26.[84] In April 2011, a Senate committee voted 8-1 to reject a statewide ban exempting bars, casinos, private clubs, retail tobacco shops, and nursing homes, which also had been introduced by Rep. Brown and previously had passed the House, 68-31.[85]

 Kansas

  • Statewide smoking ban: On July 1, 2010, after being signed into law by Governor Mark Parkinson on March 12, 2010, an amendment to Kansas' 1987 statewide smoking law took effect, banning smoking statewide in all enclosed, indoor workplaces in Kansas.[96] The law will exempt only (1) casino and racetrack gaming floors, (2) the entire area of a private club that was in existence on January 1, 2009, (3) designated areas in any private club where persons under 18 are prohibited, (4) tobacconists, (5) designated hotel and motel smoking rooms, (6) designated smoking areas in nursing homes and healthcare facilities, (7) and all outdoor areas, unless within a 10' radius of an entryway to a public building.[96] The amendment will not change the original law's provision allowing local governments to regulate smoking more stringently than the state,[96][97] which the Kansas Supreme Court reiterated in 2007 upon a bar owner's challenge to Lawrence's local smoking ban.[98] On June 30, 2010, the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas, issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting the statewide smoking ban from taking effect in 31 private clubs established after January 1, 2009, until it settles a lawsuit against the state by those clubs.[99]

 Louisiana

  • Statewide smoking ban excluding bars: On January 1, 2007, SB 742 went into effect, banning smoking in all schools, workplaces, and public places, including restaurants.[123] The law exempts bars (food establishments where the majority of sales are derived from alcohol), private residences and automobiles except those when used as a healthcare or childcare facility, limousines under private hire, designated hotel/motel smoking rooms, retail tobacco shops, outdoor areas, private and semiprivate rooms of nursing homes occupied exclusively by smokers, casino gaming floors, workplaces of tobacco-related businesses such as manufacturers and distributors, convention and banquet facilities rented out to a private party, designated areas in nursing homes, and correctional facilities (until August 1, 2009).[123] Local governments may regulate smoking more strictly than the state,[123] though as of April 2009 no local government in Louisiana bans smoking in all bars and restaurants.[4]
    • Since 2009, attempts to further ban smoking statewide in Louisiana have failed every year before the Louisiana State Legislature. In June 2009, the Louisiana House of Representatives rejected ending the exemption for bars and casinos by a vote of 79-21.[124] In May 2010, a House committee rejected a bill to ban smoking in casinos,[125] and then rejected a bill to ban smoking in bars, casinos, and the remainder of restaurants that the Louisiana Senate had passed by a vote of 23-12.[126] In June 2011, the Senate rejected a bill to ban smoking in bars by a vote of 22-15.[127]

Instead, Mississippi's 2006 statewide smoking law, the Clean Indoor Air Act, prohibits smoking only inside any state or local government building (except designated areas in the state's veterans' homes) or inside any university or college classroom building.[144] Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the Act.[145] In 2011, three separate bills before the Mississippi Legislature seeking to enact some form of a statewide smoking ban all failed when they did not receive a committee hearing.[146][147][148]

 Missouri

  • No statewide smoking ban. Instead, Missouri's 1992 statewide smoking law, the Indoor Clean Air Act, prohibits smoking in all enclosed public places (including workplaces) and public meetings, except in designated smoking areas, which may occupy no more than 30% of the place's enclosed area.[155] Warning signs must be appropriately posted either way.[156] Local governments may prohibit smoking in schools, child daycare facilities, and school buses,[157] as well as in public places.[155] Bars, restaurants that seat fewer than 50 people, bowling alleys, billiard parlors, retail tobacco shops, rooms and halls used for private social functions, limousines and taxicabs where the driver and all passengers agree to smoking, stage performances including smoking, indoor sports stadiums seating more than 15,000 people, and private residences "are not considered a public place".[158] On June 23, 2009, the Western District of the Missouri Court of Appeals ruled that Kansas City's 2008 local ban on smoking in all workplaces, including bars and billiard parlors, did not conflict with this statute and was not preempted.[159] The Supreme Court of Missouri later declined to hear an appeal from that decision.[160]
    • Attempts in the Missouri General Assembly to enact some form of statewide smoking ban have failed every year since 2008. Bills by Senator Joan Bray before the Missouri Senate in 2008, 2009, and 2010 and a bill by Rep. Walt Bivens before the Missouri House of Representatives in 2010 all had few consponsors and little support, and failed without even receiving a committee hearing.[161][162][163][164] In 2009, a proposal by Rep. Joe Fallert to amend the Constitution of Missouri to ban smoking statewide and a bill by Rep. Jill Schupp proposing .1% a tax on all non-smoke-free businesses also both failed this way.[165][166] In 2011, a bill by Rep. Jill Schupp to ban smoking statewide did have a number of cosponsors and received a brief hearing before a House committee, but the committee did not put it up for a vote.[167]
    • As of April 2011, Missouri has the lowest cigarette excise taxes in the United States, at 17 cents per pack,[168] and the electorate voted in 2002 and 2006 to keep it that way.[169] According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2009 Missouri was tied (with Indiana) for the fifth highest percentage of adult smokers among U.S. states, at 23.1%.[170] In January 2011, the House of Representatives voted to continue allowing smoking in its half of the Missouri State Capitol.[171] In October 2008, a statewide survey by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services found that only 27.5% of Missourians support a statewide ban on smoking in all bars and cocktail lounges.[172] Missouri also has one of the most permissive approaches to alcohol in the United States (see Alcohol laws of Missouri).
    • As detailed below, of the 961 cities in Missouri, only 29 (3%) have enacted any kind of smoking ban in non-government-owned spaces, 9 of which are not comprehensive bans. One county bans smoking in many places, though exempting bars and casinos. 9 cities and one county have rejected a smoking ban in some manner. On April 5, 2011, Cape Girardeau became one of the few cities in the United States ever to have rejected a smoking ban in a public vote.

 Nevada

The act passed by voters initially included all restaurants as well as bars that serve food.[242] The Act permits smoking without limitation in areas within casinos where minors are already prohibited, stand-alone bars that do not serve food, strip clubs and brothels, retail tobacco stores, and private residences (including those that serve as an office workplace, unless used as a childcare, adult daycare, or healthcare facility).[242] Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the Act,[242] though no city or county in Nevada has chosen to do so.[4] In 2009 Nevada partially repealed the ban to allow smoking in tobacco-related trade conventions.[citation needed] The ban was further amended in 2011 to allow smoking in taverns that serve alcohol and food as long as patrons under 21 are not allowed in. Smoking is also now allowed in designated areas of family restaurants if the smoking area is physically enclosed and separated from the non-smoking area and minors are prohibited inside. [243]

 New Hampshire

It established an on-premises cigar, beverage, and liquor license and allowed for cigar smoking at public cigar bars.[247] Towns only can regulate smoking more strictly with regard to fire safety and sanitation.[248] In 2003, the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled that this means state law preempts towns from enacting stricter local smoking bans for health reasons.[249]

The bar owner, facing violations and fines totaling $33,000, brought suit, claiming the ban is unconstitutional. The Ohio Supreme Court has agreed to hear the challenge.[276]
  • North Royalton April 16, 2008, banned in parks, fields, and parking lots in the city.[citation needed] City sidewalks are exempt and smoking areas may be designated at the mayor's discretion.[citation needed]
  • Oberlin, June 2010, Oberlin, banned smoking and the use of smokeless tobacco in city parks.[277]

 Oklahoma

  • No statewide smoking ban. Instead, Oklahoma's statewide smoking law prohibits smoking in any indoor workplaces - including restaurants and hotels - unless a separate ventilation system under negative pressure is installed for ventilating the smoking area, but permits smoking without limitation in bars, private clubs, bingo halls, retail tobacco stores, small family-owned workplaces, workplaces occupied exclusively by smokers, veterans' halls, and designated employee smoking areas.[278][279] The Oklahoma law expressly preempts local governments from enacting any local smoking regulations that are not exactly the same as the state law.[280] In February 2009, a committee of the Oklahoma Senate rejected a proposed ban on smoking in all enclosed workplaces, including restaurants and bars, and a similar bill before the Oklahoma House of Representatives failed when it was denied a committee hearing.[281] In May 2009, a bill before the Oklahoma House of Representatives to repeal the preemption on stricter local smoking regulation failed when it did not receive a committee hearing.[282]

 Oregon

  • Statewide smoking ban: Effective January 1, 2009, after being signed into law on June 26, 2007, the 1981 Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act (as previously amended in 2001) was amended to ban smoking statewide in all enclosed workplaces in Oregon, including bars and restaurants, as well as within 10 feet (3.0 m) of the entrances, exits, or windows of such places.[283] The Act exempts (1) private residences except when serving as a childcare or adult care facility,[284] (2) designated hotel/motel smoking rooms, (3) spaces designated for traditional Native American religious and cultural ceremonies, (4) retail tobacco shops, and (5) cigar bars.[285] Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the Act;[286] and the Oregon Court of Appeals reiterated this in 2000.[287]

    • Philadelphia, January 8, 2007, banned in all enclosed workplaces, exempting bars where food accounts for less than 10% of sales and alcohol accounts for more than 90% of sales, and persons under 18 are prohibited.[289] Philadelphia's ordinance is the only local smoking ban in Pennsylvania.[4]

 Puerto Rico

  • Territory-wide smoking ban: Effective March 2, 2007, smoking is banned territory-wide in all enclosed workplaces in Puerto Rico, including bars and restaurants, as well as private vehicles when either a minor in a car seat or a child under 13 is present.[290] The law exempts (1) retail tobacco stores, (2) theater and film productions and presentations in which actors smoke as part of their character, (3) private homes except when serving as a workplace, and (4) designated hotel/motel smoking rooms.[291]

 Rhode Island

  • Statewide smoking ban: On March 1, 2005, the Public Health and Workplace Safety Act went into effect, banning smoking statewide in all enclosed workplaces in Rhode Island, including bars and restaurants.[292][293] The Act exempts (1) cigar bars (income over 50% tobacco products), (2) outdoor areas, (3) private and semiprivate rooms in nursing homes, (4) retail tobacco stores, (5) stage performances involving smoking, (6) private residences, except used as a licensed child care, adult daycare, or healthcare facility,[294] and (7) the two state-licensed gambling facilities, Newport Grand and Twin River.[295] Local governments may regulate smoking more strictly than the Act,[296] though as of April 2009 none have chosen to do so.[4]

 South Carolina

  • No statewide smoking ban. Instead, South Carolina's 1990 statewide smoking law, the Clean Indoor Air Law, generally prohibits smoking only in (1) public schools, excluding offices and teacher lounges (unless a local school board says otherwise), (2) childcare facilities, (3) healthcare facilities, except in designated employee smoking areas (unless the facilities chooses to be smoke free), (4) government buildings, except in designated employee smoking areas (and except the State Capitol and legislative office buildings), (5) elevators, (6) public transportation vehicles, and (7) public theatres and arenas, except in designated smoking areas in common areas,[297] and in any such designated smoking area warning signs must be appropriately posted.[298] The Act covers no other places. On March 31, 2008, the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that local governments generally may regulate smoking more stringently than the Act.[299] On September 8, 2008, the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that the maximum fine a city or town constitutionally can impose for breaking a local smoking ban is $25.[300] As of July 5, 2010, 33 local governments in South Carolina have enacted local smoking bans.[301] In May 2008, four bills before the South Carolina General Assembly that sought to ban smoking statewide in all bars and restaurants failed when they did not receive a committee hearing before the end of the legislative session.[302]

 South Dakota

  • Statewide smoking ban: South Dakota voters passed 2009 H.B. 1240 on November 10, 2010. The bill bans smoking statewide in all enclosed workplaces in South Dakota, including bars and restaurants,[307] exempting only private residences unless used for child daycare,[307] cigar bars, retail tobacco shops, and a percentage of hotel and motel rooms.[308] The bill was passed in the South Dakota State Legislature and signed into law by Governor Mike Rounds. It was scheduled to take effect in July 2009, but on June 22, 2009, a group of casino and video lottery operators presented the Secretary of State with a petition for a referendum over H.B. 1240 that they claimed to bear 25,000 valid signatures.[309] On June 25, 2009, the Secretary of State certified that the petition indeed bore at least the required 16,776 valid signatures, putting H.B. 1240 to the November 2010 public referendum.[310] On July 24, 2009, the Secretary of State declared that after further review, the number of valid signatures on the petition fell short of the required number to put the issue on the ballot.[311] On November 13, 2009, however, Circuit Judge Kathleen Trandahl ruled that the petition did have enough valid signatures, and ordered the Secretary of State to put the issue to a public vote on November 2, 2010,[312] which ultimately passed. H.B. 1240 is silent as to whether local governments may regulate smoking more stringently, though as of November 2010 no local governments in South Dakota have done so.

 Tennessee

  • Statewide smoking ban excluding bars: On July 1, 2007, after being signed into law in May 2007, the Non-Smoker Protection Act went into effect, banning smoking statewide in all enclosed workplaces in Tennessee, except as exempted.[313] The Act exempts (1) businesses, including bars and restaurants, where persons under 21 are prohibited, (2) designated hotel/motel smoking rooms, (3) tobacco industry-related facilities, (4) outdoor areas and areas with an open garage door, (5) nursing homes, (6) designated smoking areas not accessible to the general public in businesses with three or fewer employees, (7) private clubs, (8) private residences and vehicles unless it is being used for child care, daycare, or public transportation of children, (9) retail tobacco stores, and (10) commercial vehicles occupied solely by the operator.[314] Local governments are preempted from regulating smoking.[315]

 Texas

  • No statewide smoking ban. Instead, since 1997 Texas' statewide smoking law only prohibits smoking in activities of public schools on or off school property,[316] elevators, theatres, libraries, museums, hospitals, buses, airplanes, and trains, as long as these areas are open to the general public, unless the proprietor designates the place for smoking and posts appropriate warning signs.[317] Violation of this law is a class C misdemeanor.[317] Texas law is silent as to whether local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the state. As of April 2009, 49 cities in Texas have enacted local smoking bans to varying degrees.[4]
    • Attempts to ban smoking statewide have failed twice before the Texas Legislature, first in May 2007 when a bill to ban smoking statewide in all enclosed workplaces, including bars and restaurants passed the Texas House of Representatives by a vote of 91-48 after being amended to allow any business owner to opt out of the ban by posting signs saying smoking is permitted, and then did not receive a vote in the Texas Senate,[318][319] and then again in May 2009, when a similar bill was passed by a Senate committee but did not receive the 21 votes necessary to reach the Senate floor.[320]

 Vermont

  • Statewide smoking ban: Effective September 1, 2005, smoking is banned in all enclosed workplaces in Vermont, including all bars and restaurants,[334] except in areas of owner-operated businesses with no employees that are not open to the public,[335] although separately-ventilated designated smoking areas in businesses where employees are not required to be were exempt until July 1, 2009.[336] Designated unenclosed smoking areas in businesses where the layout of the workplace is such that smoking would not be a physical irritation to any nonsmoking employee and three-fourths of the employees agreed were also exempt until July 1, 2009.[336] The Vermont Veterans Home in Bennington is the only non-owner-operated workplace in the state permitted to allow smoking.[336] Vermont is one of the few states with a statewide smoking ban that does not expressly exempt tobacconists, and is the only state that does not allow the designation of hotel/motel smoking rooms.

  • Statewide ban on smoking in some workplaces. On December 1, 2009, an amendment to Virginia's 1990 Indoor Clean Air Act took effect banning smoking statewide in enclosed public elevators, public school buses, primary and secondary schools, hospital emergency rooms, health department offices, polling places, indoor service lines and cashier lines, public restrooms in government buildings and hospitals, child daycare centers except where located in a private home, and public restrooms of health care facilities, and relegating smoking in restaurants (including bars) to separately-ventilated designated smoking rooms that are structurally separated from the rest of the establishment.[339][340] The Act exempts private clubs, retail tobacco stores, tobacco warehouses, tobacco manufacturing facilities, prisons, designated smoking areas in government offices, food preparation facilities for catering services, restaurants located on the premises of tobacco manufacturers, rented private rooms in restaurants; requires the reasonable designation of non-smoking areas in educational facilities where smoking is not banned, hospitals, retail stores bigger than 15,000 square feet (1,400 m2), and recreational facilities.[339] Local governments are preempted from regulating smoking more stringently than the Act.[339] Since 2006, smoking in state offices, vehicles, and buildings (except for correctional facilities) has been banned by executive order issued by the Governor of Virginia.[341]
    • Campbell County rolled back a smoking ban on personal freedom grounds.[342]

 Washington

  • Statewide smoking ban: On December 8, 2005, after ratification by a majority of Washington voters in a statewide initiative referendum, an amendment to Washington's 1985 Clean Indoor Air Act became effective banning smoking statewide in all public places and places of employment in Washington (except 25% of hotel/motel rooms),[344] as well as within 25 feet (7.6 m) of doors, windows, or ventilation intakes to such places.[345] The act exempts private enclosed workplaces[346] and private residences except when being used to provide licensed childcare, foster care, adult care, or other similar social service care.[347] Washington does not provide exemptions for tobacconists or businesses whose sole purpose is to provide an environment for smoking (e.g. hookah lounges, cigar bars). Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the act,[346] and local health boards are authorized to enforce the act locally.[348]
    • Mason County, banned in all enclosed workplaces, including bars and restaurants[4]

 West Virginia

  • No statewide smoking ban. Instead, West Virginia's statewide smoking laws generally prohibit smoking in (1) public transportation vehicles where a "no smoking" sign is posted,[349] (2) areas of public school except teacher's lounges not accessible to students (unless a local education board rules differently),[350] (3) workplaces where a "no smoking" sign is posted,[351] (4) areas near surface magazines for explosives used in mining,[352] (5) mines and structures around mines,[353][354] (6) nonsmoking sections in bingo halls,[355] and (7) nonsmoking areas in nursing homes.[356] No West Virginia law requires the designation of nonsmoking areas generally in enclosed workplaces. In 2003, the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia ruled that county health boards may regulate smoking more stringently than the state, except in bingo halls and retirement homes.[357] As of April 2009, 44 counties and one city in West Virginia have enacted local smoking bans to varying degrees.[4] In 2008, a proposed statewide smoking ban failed in the West Virginia Legislature.[358]

 Wisconsin

  • Statewide smoking ban: On July 5, 2010, after being signed into law by Governor Jim Doyle on May 18, 2009, S.B. 181 (2009 Wisconsin Act 12) took effect, banning smoking statewide in all enclosed workplaces in Wisconsin, including all bars, restaurants, lodging establishments, and private clubs, as well as within a "reasonable distance" outdoors from any such place, except in bar/restaurant outdoor patios.[361] The Act exempts only cigar bars or retail tobacco stores already in existence, private residences, and rooms in nursing homes in which the occupants agree to allow smoking;[361] it does not cover casinos run by Native American tribes, as those casinos are in the tribes' sovereign territory. Local governments are preempted from regulating smoking more strictly than the Act.[361] Prior to this law taking effect, several localities in Wisconsin had local smoking bans in effect.

[362]

 Wyoming

  • No statewide smoking ban. Instead, Wyoming state law only prohibits smoking where it could cause an explosion[363][364][365] and in underground mines.[366] Wyoming has no state laws concerning indoor smoking in general, and thus local governments can regulate general indoor smoking as they see fit. As of April 2009, five cities in Wyoming have enacted local smoking bans, all covering all bars and restaurants, but varying otherwise.[4] In February 2009, a bill before the Wyoming Legislature that would have enacted a statewide ban on smoking in all enclosed workplaces, except in private offices and in bars and restaurants serving only patrons over 21 years of age (and except in any local community that chose to opt out) failed when it was passed by the Wyoming House of Representatives in a vote of 31-29 but then was denied a committee hearing in the Wyoming Senate.[367]
  • Localities in Wyoming with a smoking ban that includes all bars and restaurants (5 total):
    • Burlington, banned in all enclosed workplaces, including bars and restaurants[4]

    • Evanston, September 4, 2007, banned in all bars and restaurants, but not in all other workplaces[4]
    • Laramie, April 6, 2005, banned in all bars and restaurants, but not in all other workplaces;[4] ban includes private clubs.[citation needed]
  • Localities in Wyoming with a smoking ban that does not include all bars and restaurants (2 total):
