smoking bans
No cigarettes allowed
Smoking bans are laws or policies prohibiting tobacco smoking in specified areas—typically indoor public spaces, workplaces, restaurants, and bars.
The rationale centers on protecting nonsmokers from secondhand smoke.
Bans may extend to outdoor spaces like parks or stadium seating.
The city's smoking ban covers all restaurants and bars.
