None Smoking Law - Nevada?

"The Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act will go into effect on December 8, 2006, ten days after its approval by the Nevada Supreme Court."

Yes, the school can still punish you since the rules state "no smoking." I'm guessing the no smoking rule applies to any substance being smoked. As for cancer... any inhalation of smoke is bad for the lungs and can therefore contribute to cancer.

The reason for the law (and it does not include every public area) is due to the fact that "second hand smoke" is believed to cause cancer.   I don't know where you live, but in Maryland you can still smoke in diners, clubs and bars in designated areas.  You can don't smoke in any government buildings, and most office buildings.   As for its origins in South Africa, I don't know about that.

I feel that city officials have the right to restrict the no smoking policy on city owned property, but have no right to restrict smoking in a privately  owned business. That should be up to the owner.\nI am a non-smoker and I'll decide where I want to go. Smoking or non-smoking.

I'm still not sure why smoking was banned in public places like restaurants and bars. Non smoker have had their non smoking areas with fans, wasn't that enough? I guess not. People just want to dictate what others do so they can get their way. If non a smokers right were seemingly violated they would and do get their way. How about smoker's rights?

I support non-smoking areas, but if you want to smoke, then I think you should have your own areas. I do however feel that smokers face discrimination every day and state wide bans don't help.

it is in Texas..also the cities make their own rules as to where you can and cannot smoke...such as restraunts,etc...

That all depends on the state. It is possible that there is such a law. There is not in Oregon (only within 200 feet of hospitals), but it wouldn't surprise me if there was one in some states.\n\nCalifornia state law only requires that smoking be prohibited in "enclosed workspaces." San Bernardino law restricts smoking within 20 feet of county property, but otherwise does not restrict smoking outside.

You should contact your local health department. I do believe that in most states, the health department is charged with enforcement of non-smoking laws. \n\nBe sure to carry a small tape recorder with you after you complain. You can expect that there will be illegal retaliation against you.

They have that in Nevada, I don't know of anyplace else that does.  But what if none of the above wins?

They have to have a place for smokers that does not block an exit or interfer with non-smokers.  Check the state labor laws.

Issue 4...even though I can't vote due to me moving and missing the voter registration deadline...But I would have chosen yes on issue 4 because I think its wrong if you ban all puclib areas...I man or women doesn't go to a bar or a club to smoke?  That what I mean...I don't smoke but I think its affecting the ones who do smoke freedom.

Wow...I didn't know about the kids in the car thing, and I live in CA and smoke.\n\nI rarely smoke in my own car if there's a non smoker in there, and I never do with kids.\n\nAs far as anywhere else, unless I am outside, I always ask 1st...I never just assume I can smoke anywhere.

They have more sense than the rest.\n\nIncidently, it is legal except in Clark Co. which includes Las Vegas and the county (which name I don't recall) in which Reno is located.

As a former smoker, nurse, and former restaurant owner, NO.  That should be the right of the business owner.  \n\nOur county has a county-wide ban on smoking in restaurants (not bars) and of course in public places.  \n\nI like going into a restaurant and not smelling like smoke or having to breath second hand smoke.  But I had that choice before the ban too by eating at restaurants which were non-smoking.  Smokers can't smoke inside buildings, but they huddle together at the door and I have to walk through the cloud of smoke to get inside which I wouldn't have been exposed to before the county-wide smoking ban.\n\nSo NO.  That choice should be the business owner's choice and  the consumer's choice to vote with their feet.

I doubt if you can open a smoker's bar, however depending on the language of the law, you can open a private club, charge a small fee to be a member, not open to the public.  If it is a private club, they can't touch you if it is not written in the ban.
