North Dakota's Smoke-Free Law

North Dakota's smoke-free law, effective 12-6-12, advances public health by protecting more workers, residents and visitors from secondhand smoke exposure in public places and places of employment.

The law protects people from exposure to secondhand smoke:

In all enclosed* areas of public places and places of employment such as restaurants, bars, truck stops, guest rooms and common areas within hotels and motels, healthcare facilities, long-term care centers, assisted living centers, licensed adult day care facilities, retail tobacco stores, hookah establishments, workplace vehicles, charitable gambling and gaming licensed facilities, and places of public access that may be leased for private functions.

Within twenty (20) feet of entrances, exits, operable windows, air intakes and ventilation systems of an establishment in which smoking is prohibited by the law.

* Enclosed area means all space between a floor and ceiling that has thirty-three percent or more of the surface area of its perimeter bounded by opened or closed walls, windows or doorways. A wall includes any physical barrier regardless of whether it is open or closed.

More information can be found on the NDQuits website.
