Question

I am taking a vacation to New England and would like to which states have bans on smoking in restaurants, bars and motel rooms.

Answer 1

Connecticut, 1 April 2004 banned in bars, restaurants, and workplaces with more than five employees. All 3 states bordering Connecticut (NY, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island) also have statewide bans on smoking in bars, restaurants, etc.

Maine, January 1, 2004 banned in bars. Smoking has been banned in restaurants since September 1999.

Massachusetts, July 2004 banned in all workplaces, including restaurants and bars, except private clubs and cigar bars.

New Hampshire, The New Hampshire General Court passed a bill banning smoking in restaurants, bars, and in cigar bars, on May 31, 2007. Governor John Lynch supports the bill and it will take effect 90 days after it is signed.

Rhode Island, 1 March 2005 banned in almost all indoor workplaces, except some gambling facilities.

Vermont, September 1, 2005 banned lighted tobacco products in any indoor place of public access, including restaurants, bars and facilities owned or operated by a social, fraternal, or religious club. Vermont has banned smoking in restaurants since 1995, but the ban didn't cover bars until 2005.
