List of smoking bans in the United States
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 first-level jurisdictional, local criminal, and occupational safety and health laws.
In 1995, California was the first state to enact a statewide smoking ban; throughout the early to mid-2000s, especially between 2004 and 2007, an increasing number of states enacted a statewide smoking ban of some kind. As of July 2015, the most recent statewide smoking ban is North Dakota's, which was ratified by voters on November 6, 2012.
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 2, 2015, according to the American Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation, 81.9% 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 49.3% 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 13: Atlanta, Fort Worth, Jacksonville, Memphis, Miami, Las Vegas, Nashville, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Tampa, Tulsa, and Virginia Beach.[3][4]
Overview
Statewide bans on smoking in all enclosed public places
As of January 2014, 28 states have enacted statewide bans on smoking in all enclosed public places, including all bars and restaurants: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, 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 six (Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, Utah, Vermont, and Washington) exempt tobacconists. All except four (Michigan, North Dakota, Vermont, and Wisconsin) 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 (8). The following is a table of common exemptions from these 28 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), ND (1 employee), 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 23 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 adult-only venues
As of January 2014, 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, Indiana, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. In Arkansas, Indiana, and Tennessee, the law also allows smoking in restaurants with liquor licenses that do not admit persons under 21; indeed, in Tennessee, the law exempts any adult-only venue of any kind. 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 January 2014, 6 states have enacted smoking bans in particular places that do not fit in the other categories:
- Georgia relegates smoking in restaurants serving persons under 18 to separately enclosed smoking rooms, allows smoking freely in restaurants and bars limiting patronage to persons over 18, and allows most anywhere else either to designate smoking areas indoors or, in many cases, to allow smoking freely; local governments in Georgia can and have passed stricter smoking bans than the state.
- Idaho bans smoking in restaurants, but exempts 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, unless the restaurant is operated by a retail tobacco store, in which case smoking can be allowed on 100% of the premises. The state law prohibits local governments from regulating smoking more strictly than the state.
States with no statewide smoking ban
As of January 2014, 10 states have not enacted any general statewide ban on smoking in any non-government-owned spaces: Alabama, Alaska, 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 nine states, cities and/or counties have enacted stricter smoking laws than the state, in some cases banning smoking in all enclosed workplaces. In Alabama and Mississippi, the state smoking law expressly allows all local governments to do so. In Alaska, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas, 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 not in bars.
Smoking laws 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] In 2012, two Senate bills (one by Sen. Figures) and another House bill by Rep. McClurkin to enact a statewide smoking ban in all enclosed workplaces, including all bars and restaurants, also failed this way.

Alaska
- No statewide smoking ban. Instead, Alaska's statewide smoking law generally requires the designation of smoking and nonsmoking areas and warning signage in most enclosed workplaces and public places. 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.[22] 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,[23] a smoking area may be designated, with no limit on its size,[24][25] but must post appropriate warning signage.[26] All other places are entirely exempt from regulation. The Alaska state smoking law is silent as to whether cities can regulate smoking more stringently, and on June 1, 2011, the Supreme Court of Alaska upheld Juneau's municipal ban on smoking in all bars, restaurants, and private clubs.[27]

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.[39][40]
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.[41][42]
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.
- Alameda, January 2, 2012, banned in commercial areas, recreation areas (parks, trails beaches, sports fields), service areas (bus stops, ticket lines, ATMs), dining areas, public event spaces, entryways, and many workplaces including 90% of hotel/motel guest rooms, small businesses with fewer than five employees, tobacco shops, hookah bars medical research sites, work vehicles, theatrical production sites, and all outdoor worksites.

"(a) A landlord of a residential dwelling unit, as defined in Section 1940, or his or her agent, may prohibit the smoking of a cigarette, as defined in Section 104556 of the Health and Safety Code, or other tobacco product on the property or in any building or portion of the building, including any dwelling unit, other interior or exterior area, or the premises on which it is located, in accordance with this article.
(b) (1) Every lease or rental agreement entered into on or after January 1, 2012, for a residential dwelling unit on property on any portion of which the landlord has prohibited the smoking of cigarettes or other tobacco products pursuant to this article shall include a provision that specifies the areas on the property where smoking is prohibited, if the lessee has not previously occupied the dwelling unit. (2) For a lease or rental agreement entered into before January 1, 2012, a prohibition against the smoking of cigarettes or other tobacco products in any portion of the property in which smoking was previously permitted shall constitute a change of the terms of tenancy, requiring adequate notice in writing, to be provided in the manner prescribed in Section 827. (c) A landlord who exercises the authority provided in subdivision (a) to prohibit smoking shall be subject to federal, state, and local requirements governing changes to the terms of a lease or rental agreement for tenants with leases or rental agreements that are in existence at the time that the policy limiting or prohibiting smoking is adopted. (d) This section shall not be construed to preempt any local ordinance in effect on or before January 1, 2012, or any provision of a local ordinance in effect on or after January 1, 2012, that restricts the smoking of cigarettes or other tobacco products. (e) A limitation or prohibition of the use of any tobacco product shall not affect any other term or condition of the tenancy, nor shall this section be construed to require statutory authority to establish or enforce any other lawful term or condition of the tenancy. (Added by Stats. 2011, Ch. 264, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 2012.)" [73]
Colorado
- Statewide smoking ban: On July 1, 2006, the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act went into effect, banning smoking in all enclosed workplaces statewide, including bars and restaurants.

Indiana
- Statewide smoking ban excluding bars, and casinos. Effective July 1, 2012, after having been signed into law by Governor Mitch Daniels on March 19, 2012, Indiana's 1993 statewide Clean Indoor Air Law was repealed and replaced by a new chapter of the Indiana Code titled "Prohibition on Smoking." The new chapter bans smoking in all enclosed public places and workplaces in Indiana and within 8 feet (2.4 m) of an entrance thereto, except as exempted.[104] The law exempts: (1) horse racing facilities including off-track betting parlors; (2) riverboats; (3) all indoor portions of casinos and other licensed gaming facilities; (4) cigar bars and hookah lounges; (5) private clubs; (6) retail tobacco stores; (7) bars and taverns (defined as any business with a liquor license that does not allow in persons under 21 years of age); and (8) cigar manufacturers.[104] The law expressly allows local governments to enact more stringent smoking restrictions.[104]
- Attempts in the Indiana General Assembly to enact a ban on smoking in all workplaces in Indiana, including all bars and restaurants, 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.[105] 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.[106] 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.[107] 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.[108] The ban that ultimately was enacted in 2012 passed the House as a complete ban on smoking in all workplaces in Indiana, including all bars and restaurants (and authored again by Rep. Brown), but was amended by the Senate to include the above exemptions, upon which the House agreed to the Senate's exemptions.[109]

Iowa
- Statewide smoking ban: On July 1, 2008, the Smokefree Air Act went into effect, banning smoking statewide in all workplaces in Iowa, including restaurants and bars, as well as the outdoor areas of schools, stadia, restaurants, public transit areas (including bus shelters), schools, and parks owned by the state or a local government.[119] The Act exempts private residences while not being used as a childcare or healthcare facility, outdoor areas where smoking is not specifically prohibited, hotel/motel rooms designated as smoking rooms, retail tobacco stores, private and semiprivate rooms in nursing homes occupied by smokers, private clubs, limousines under private hire, private work vehicles where only one employee is located, places where a quit-smoking program is taking place, farm vehicles, casino gaming floors, the state-run veterans' home in Marshalltown, and designated areas of correctional facilities.[120] Fines for individuals found in violation of the Smokefree Air Act are $50 per violation.[121] Fines for businesses range anywhere from $100 to $500 for each violation with the eventual possibility of revocation of liquor and/or business license for habitually offending businesses.[121]

Kentucky
- No statewide smoking ban. Instead, in Kentucky, the only state laws dealing with smoking prohibit smoking in government offices, universities, and the state capitol, except in designated smoking areas.[126][127] In 2004, the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled that the state's food and tobacco sales laws do not preempt cities and counties from enacting smoking regulations of any kind.[128] In 2011 and 2012, bills to enact a statewide smoking ban in all enclosed workplaces, including all bars, restaurants, and gaming facilities, as well as a bill in 2011 to ban smoking in cars in which minors are riding, all failed before the Kentucky General Assembly when they did not receive a committee hearing in the Kentucky House of Representatives.[129][130][131]

Prior to this ordinance, 6 localities had smoking provisions that exempted restaurants, but were later superseded by the Act once it had gone into effect.[4][136]
- 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.[137] In May 2010, a House committee rejected a bill to ban smoking in casinos,[138] 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.[139] In June 2011, the Senate rejected a bill to ban smoking in bars by a vote of 22–15.[140] In May 2012, the Senate rejected a bill to prohibit smoking within 25 feet (7.6 m) of all places where smoking is banned by a vote of 18-12, and instead chose to amend the bill to prohibit smoking within 25 feet (7.6 m) of entrances to state-owned government buildings with no word on when the bill will take effect.[141]

- Statewide smoking ban: On May 1, 2010, after being signed into law by Governor Jennifer Granholm on December 18, 2009, the Dr. Ron Davis Law took effect, banning smoking statewide in all enclosed, indoor workplaces in Michigan, as well as the outdoor patios of bars and restaurants.[151][152] The law exempts only cigar bars, retail tobacco stores, private home offices, company vehicles including commercial trucks, and Detroit's three casinos' gambling floors.[151] The law is silent as to whether local governments may regulate smoking more strictly than the state, though it prohibits state or local health departments from enacting any smoking rules different than the law.[151] In December 2011, a judge dismissed fines against a Warren, Michigan bar owner who had claimed that his bar's Keno machines classified his establishment as a casino exempt from the ban.
Minnesota
- Statewide smoking ban: On October 1, 2007, the Freedom to Breathe Act went into effect, expanding the existing Clean Indoor Air Act of 1975 so as to ban smoking statewide in all enclosed workplaces in Minnesota, including public transportation, bars, and restaurants.[153] The Act exempts designated rooms in nursing homes, designated areas in psychiatric facilities, places where scientific studies related to smoking occur, private homes and residences not in use as a place of employment, designated hotel/motel smoking rooms, retail tobacco shops, heavy commercial vehicles, farm vehicles and construction equipment, buildings on family farms, the Minnesota disabled veterans' rest camp, smoking by American Indians as part of a traditional spiritual or cultural ceremony, stage performances involving smoking, and outdoor areas.[154] Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the state.[155]
- Carlton County, June 1, 2007, banned on 50% of outdoor patio seating in restaurants and bars.
- Duluth, March 7, 2010, banned within 15 feet (4.6 m) of a bus shelter or transit center.[156]

The zone was extended in June 2010 to include two blocks of West Center Street between the Kahler Grand Hotel, Methodist Hospital and the Gonda Building.[157]
Mississippi
- No statewide smoking ban. 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.[158] Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the Act.[159] In 2011 and 2012, 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.[160][161][162]

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.[171] Warning signs must be appropriately posted either way.[172] Local governments may prohibit smoking in schools, child daycare facilities, and school buses,[173] as well as in public places.[171] 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".[174] 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.[175] The Supreme Court of Missouri later declined to hear an appeal from that decision.[176]
- Attempts in the Missouri General Assembly to enact some form of statewide smoking ban have failed every year since 2008, except for 2015, when one was not even introduced:
- Bills to ban smoking statewide by Senator Joan Bray before the Missouri Senate in 2008, 2009, and 2010 and by Rep. Walt Bivens before the Missouri House of Representatives in 2010 all failed without receiving a committee hearing.[177][178][179][180] 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.[181][182]
- In 2011, a bill by Rep. Jill Schupp received a hearing before a House committee, but the committee did not put it up for a vote.[183]
- In 2012, respective bills by Rep. Schupp and Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal to ban smoking statewide both failed without receiving a committee hearing,[184][185] while a bill by Rep. Melissa Leach to undo the Court of Appeals' 2009 smoking ban decision underwent a committee hearing, though no vote was held.[186]
- In 2013, respective bills by Rep. Schupp and Sen. Chapelle-Nadal to ban smoking statewide both failed without even being referred to a committee,[187][188] while a bill by Rep. Bill Otto to prohibit localities from banning smoking in riverboat casinos underwent a committee hearing but without a vote,[189] and a bill by Rep. Kathie Conway to deprive localities banning smoking of their sales and property tax revenue from smoking-banned private businesses was passed by the House Local Government Committee, but did not advance to a vote before the full House of Representatives.[190]
- In 2014, respective bills by Reps. Schupp and Courtney Curtis and Sen. Chapelle-Nadal to ban smoking statewide all failed without a committee hearing,[191][192][193] while a bill by Rep. Conway to deprive localities banning smoking of their sales and property tax revenue from smoking-banned private businesses was passed by the House Local Government Committee, but did not advance to a vote before the full House of Representatives.[194]
- For 2013, the periodic "Freedom in the 50 States" study prepared by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University ranked Missouri first in the nation in tobacco freedom (also #3 for alcohol freedom and #7 for freedom overall).[195] As of December 2013, Missouri has the lowest cigarette excise taxes in the United States, at 17 cents per pack,[196] and the state electorate previously voted in 2002, 2006, and 2012 to keep it that way.[197][198] According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2012 Missouri had the seventh highest percentage of adult smokers among U.S. states, at 25%.[199] In both January 2011 and January 2013, the Missouri House of Representatives voted to continue allowing smoking in its half of the Missouri State Capitol.[200][201] 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.[202] Missouri also has one of the most permissive approaches to alcohol in the United States (see Alcohol laws of Missouri).[195]
- As detailed below, of the 961 cities in Missouri, only 38 (3.9%) have enacted any kind of smoking ban in non-government-owned spaces, 15 of which are not comprehensive bans. One county bans smoking in many places, though exempting bars and casinos. Nine 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.

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,[371] exempting only private residences unless used for child daycare,[371] cigar bars, retail tobacco shops, and a percentage of hotel and motel rooms.[372] 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.[373] 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.[374] 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.[375] 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,[376] 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.

- Statewide smoking ban excluding bars, some restaurants, and all adult-only venues: 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.[377] The Act exempts (1) any business, including a bar or restaurant, that does not serve persons under 21, (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.[378] Local governments are preempted from regulating smoking.[379]
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,[380] 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.[381] Violation of this law is a class C misdemeanor.[381] Texas law is silent as to whether local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the state, and on December 9, 2004, the Texas Court of Appeals upheld El Paso's municipal ban on smoking in all bars and restaurants.[382] As of July 1, 2015, 90 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,[383][384] 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.[385]

United States Virgin Islands
- Territory-wide smoking ban: Effective February 10, 2011, smoking is banned in all enclosed workplaces, including bars and restaurants, and in outdoor service lines.[402]
Utah
- Statewide smoking ban: Effective January 1, 2007, as passed in March 2006 (amended in 2012),[403] Utah's 1995 Indoor Clean Air Act was expanded to ban smoking statewide in all enclosed workplaces in Utah, including bars and restaurants (bars and private clubs were exempt until January 1, 2009), exempting only (1) designated hotel/motel smoking rooms, (2) areas of owner-operated businesses with no employees besides the owner,[404] and (3) American Indian religious and cultural ceremonies.[405] Since the state law supersedes any ordinances passed by political subdivisions of the state (i.e., cities, counties, school districts, agencies, etc.), such political subdivisions are preempted from regulating indoor smoking any more or less stringently than the Act.[406] Utah is one of the few states with a statewide smoking ban that does not exempt tobacconists.
- Local outdoor smoking bans: Notwithstanding the preemption against political subdivisions modifying the restrictions on indoor smoking, the Act expressly allows such political subdivisions to regulate "smoking in outdoor places of public access which are owned or operated by" (emphasis added) a political subdivision (specifically including state institutions of public or higher education).[406] Accordingly, some political subdivisions have enacted local ordinances prohibiting smoking in certain outdoor areas such as schools, parks,[407] and public transit facilities.[408]
Vermont
- Statewide smoking ban: Effective September 1, 2005, smoking is banned in all enclosed workplaces in Vermont, including all bars and restaurants,[409] except in areas of owner-operated businesses with no employees that are not open to the public,[410] although separately ventilated designated smoking areas in businesses where employees are not required to be were exempt until July 1, 2009.[411] 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.[411] The Vermont Veterans Home in Bennington is the only non-owner-operated workplace in the state permitted to allow smoking.[411] Vermont is one of the few states with a statewide smoking ban that does not expressly exempt tobacconists, and is one of four states that does not allow the designation of hotel/motel smoking rooms. Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the state law.[412][413]

Virginia
- 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.[414][415] 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.[414] Local governments are preempted from regulating smoking more stringently than the Act.[414] 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.[416] In December 2013, the Court of Appeals of Virginia held 100% of the premises of a retail tobacco store that also operates a restaurant is exempt from Virginia's 2009 smoking restrictions, and may allow smoking throughout the restaurant portion.[417]
- Norfolk, March 25, 2008, repealed a ban on smoking in restaurants, which was passed in October 2007 but had not yet gone into effect, by City Council vote of 5–2, because the City Attorney advised the Council that its ban would violate Virginia state law and could not withstand a legal challenge.[418]
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),[419] as well as within 25 feet (7.6 m) of doors, windows, or ventilation intakes to such places.[420] The act exempts private enclosed workplaces[421] and private residences except when being used to provide licensed childcare, foster care, adult care, or other similar social service care.[422] 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). However, private clubs in enclosed spaces with no employees, and businesses on tribal lands, are exempt. Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the act,[421] and local health boards are authorized to enforce the act locally.[423]
- 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,[424] (2) areas of public school except teacher's lounges not accessible to students (unless a local education board rules differently),[425] (3) workplaces where a "no smoking" sign is posted,[426] (4) areas near surface magazines for explosives used in mining,[427] (5) mines and structures around mines,[428][429] (6) nonsmoking sections in bingo halls,[430] and (7) nonsmoking areas in nursing homes.[431] 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.[432] 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.[433]

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.[435] 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; it does not cover casinos run by American Indian tribes, as those casinos are in the tribes' sovereign territory.[435] Local governments are preempted from regulating smoking more strictly than the Act.[435] Prior to this law taking effect, several localities in Wisconsin had local smoking bans in effect.
Wyoming
- No statewide smoking ban. Instead, Wyoming state law only prohibits smoking where it could cause an explosion[437][438][439] and in underground mines.[440] 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.[441]
