Please consider splitting content into sub-articles, condensing it, or adding or removing subheadings. ( September 2015 ) Map of current and scheduled future statewide smoking bans as of 6 November 2012 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 2017, 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 July 1, 2017, according to the American Nonsmokers ' Rights Foundation, 81.5 % 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 '', and 58.6 % live under a ban covering all workplaces and restaurants and bars. 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 11 : Atlanta, Jacksonville, Memphis, Miami, Las Vegas, Nashville, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, Tampa, Tulsa, and Virginia Beach.

However, these states exempt a variety of places from their respective smoking bans. All except seven ( California, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, Utah, Vermont, and Washington ) exempt tobacconists. All except five ( Michigan, Indiana, 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 ( 7 ). 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, MN, NJ ( including OTB parlors ), NM, RI ( including OTB parlors ), WI 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. In California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, and Vermont, usage of e-cigarettes is prohibited indoors. 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. Statewide smoking bans exempting adult - only venues As of July 2017, six 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 : Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana Iowa and Nevada. In Florida, state law preempts local governments from enacting stricter smoking bans than the state, though in Idaho, Indiana, and Louisiana, 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 July 2017, 4 states have enacted smoking bans in particular places that do not fit in the other categories : 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. States with no statewide smoking ban As of July 2017, 14 states have not enacted any general statewide ban on smoking in workplaces and / or bars and / or restaurants : Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, 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, Tennessee, and Virginia, state laws prohibit local governments from regulating smoking more strictly than the state, making those states among the fewest in the nation without any legislated smoking bans. In the other eleven 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 does n'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, inflight 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. 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. 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 unless a smoking area is designated that in certain places must be `` enclosed and well ventilated. '' Warning signs must be posted appropriately. 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. Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the Act, and the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals reiterated this in August 2009. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Brown and previously had passed the House, 68 - 31. 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.

Instead, Tennessee 's 2007 statewide smoking law, the Non-Smoker Protection Act, prohibits smoking statewide in all public places in Tennessee, except as exempted ; ( 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. Local governments are preempted from regulating smoking. Texas No statewide smoking ban. Instead, Texas ' 1997 statewide smoking law only prohibits smoking in activities of public schools on or off school property, 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. Violation of this law is a class C misdemeanor. 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. As of October 2, 2017, 128 cities in Texas have enacted local smoking bans to varying degrees. 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, 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.

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. Utah Statewide smoking ban : Effective January 1, 2007, as passed in March 2006 ( amended in 2012 ), 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, and ( 3 ) American Indian religious and cultural ceremonies. 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. 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 ). Accordingly, some political subdivisions have enacted local ordinances prohibiting smoking in certain outdoor areas such as schools, parks, and public transit facilities. Vermont Statewide smoking ban : Effective September 1, 2005, smoking is banned in all enclosed workplaces in Vermont, including all bars and restaurants, except in areas of owner - operated businesses with no employees that are not open to the public, although separately ventilated designated smoking areas in businesses where employees are not required to be were exempt until July 1, 2009. 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. The Vermont Veterans Home in Bennington is the only non-owner - operated workplace in the state permitted to allow smoking. 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. Illegal to smoke in a car with a passenger under 18 Virginia No statewide smoking ban. Instead, Virginia 's 2009 statewide smoking law, the 2009 Indoor Clean Air Act prohibits 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. 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 m ), and recreational facilities. Local governments are preempted from regulating smoking more stringently than the Act. Effectively, the cost and complexity involved with complying with the law 's requirements for separately ventilated smoking areas has meant that nearly all Virginia bars and restaurants operate completely smoke - free. 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. A law which came into effect on 1 July 2016 banned smoking in private cars with any occupants who are 8 years or younger. 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. 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. 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 ), as well as within 25 feet ( 7.6 m ) of doors, windows, or ventilation intakes to such places. The act exempts private enclosed workplaces and private residences except when being used to provide licensed childcare, foster care, adult care, or other similar social service care. 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, and local health boards are authorized to enforce the act locally. Mason County, banned in all enclosed workplaces, including bars and restaurants 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, ( 2 ) areas of public school except teacher 's lounges not accessible to students ( unless a local education board rules differently ), ( 3 ) workplaces where a `` no smoking '' sign is posted, ( 4 ) areas near surface magazines for explosives used in mining, ( 5 ) mines and structures around mines, ( 6 ) nonsmoking sections in bingo halls, and ( 7 ) nonsmoking areas in nursing homes. 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. As of April 2009, 51 counties and two cities in West Virginia have enacted local smoking bans to varying degrees. In 2008, a proposed statewide smoking ban failed in the West Virginia Legislature.

Virginia where a smoking ban was rejected in some manner ( 1 total ) : Putnam County, August 21, 2007, County Health Board repealed a September 2006 ban on smoking in all enclosed workplaces, including bars and restaurants Wisconsin Statewide smoking ban : On July 5, 2009, 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. 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. Local governments are preempted from regulating smoking more strictly than the Act. 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 and in underground mines. 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 July 2017, six cities in Wyoming have enacted local smoking bans, all covering all bars and restaurants, but varying otherwise. 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.
