Smokefree Ordinance Lists
“The ANR Foundation is pleased to announce the October 2004 quarterly update to the lists of U.S. municipalities and states with 100% smokefree laws. Please note that these smokefree lists reflect only those laws that are in effect and that result in entirely smokefree enclosed workplaces, restaurants, and/or bars without exemptions. Laws that allow for separate ventilation, size exemptions, or smoking rooms are not included on the ANR Foundation 100% smokefree lists. There are now 1,811 U.S. municipalities with some sort of local clean indoor air law, 336 of which provide 100% smokefree protection for private workplaces/government buildings, restaurants, and/or bars.” Lists in PDF format.
