January 1, 1966, and the Pub.Zic Iiealth Cigarette Smoking Act; effective in
its major provisions, January 2, 1971,.the interest in warning labels and in
banning radio and TV advertising declined, since the States were effectively
pre-empted in their bid for such legislation. By March of 1971, 47 States
barred the sale of cigarettes to minors. By January of 1976, however, this
was down to 41.
Having enacted legislation calling for the inclusion of tobacco in
health education courses, and with Federal control of advertising and labeling,
and having settled, more or less, the issue of sales to minors, the next step,
for those opposed to smoking, was to legislate restrictions covering places
or areas. Fourteen of the 42 enactments between 1966-1974 and 70 out of 85
bills introduced in 1974 were designed to restrict smoking in various public
places. During this period, 17 laws were enacted concerning sales to minors,
8 covered tobacco education, and 3 dealt with advertising.
Needless to say, the subject of restricted areas has been the most
.prominent one for the years 1975, 1976, and 1977. Of the 156 restrictive bills
introduced in 1975, 135 concerned places or areas. In 1976, the 72 intro- .
ductions contained 61 bills of this nature, while in 1977, 127 out of a total
of 158 bills introduced_sought to restrict smoking areas. For the.period 1975-
1977, approximately 84% of all restrictive bills were oriented towards areas.
Other subjects during this period include the following: 17 bills on
tobacco advertising, 13 bills on tobacco education, 19 bills on enforcement of
smoking restrictions while 7 bills were favorable to smokers and smoking. Only
one bill was concerned with sales to minors.
The 24 enactments for 1975 were distributed in the following way: 22
restricted smoking areas, 1 related to tobacco education, and 1 concerned
enforcement or penalities. Of the 3 enactments in 1976, 2 related to smoking
areas and 1 to enforcement. Of the 14 enactments in 1977, 12 related to areas,
1 to education, and 1 to enforcement.
Tle States
During the period 1950-1970, 48 States were involved in proposing more
than 500 bills while 24 States took part in enacting 45 of these bills. For
1966-1974, 49 States proposed 470 bills with 20 States participating in the 42
enactments. From 1975 through 1977, all 50 States took part in proposing 386
bills with 34 States involved in enacting 41 of these.
New York with 117 proposals, Massachusetts with 60, California with 39,
and Michigan with 34 led the pack from 1950 through 1970. New York,
Massachusetts, and California with 99, 43, and 26 proposals, respectively,
were the leaders for the period 1966-1974. Ten States accounted for 224 out
of the 386 proposed bills for 1975-1977 with these same ten responsible for 21
out of 41 enactments. In terms of bills introduced, New York led with 54
proposals and 3 enactments, maintaining its front-running position. It was
followed by Maryland (28,3), Oregon (25,4), Massachusetts (22,1), Pennsylvania
(20,1), Michigan (19,4), Hawaii (18,1), Connecticut (16,1), California (12,2),
aud Florida (10,1).

viii
Looking back at the table and particularly at the dates of laws in effect
restricting smoking areas, it is clear that such legislation is of relatively
recent origin. Only one State, to my knowledge, has in effect a law enacted in
a decade other than the 1970s. Six States restrict smoking in Business/Work
Places, 19 in Cultural Places, 7 in Indoor Sports Arenas,-4 in Restaurants and
Cafeterias, 5 in Food Stores, 22 in Health Facilities, 13 in Publicly-Owned
Buildings, 17 in Public or Government Meetings, 14 in Schools, 22 in Elevators,
26 in Transit Vehicles, and 5 in Any Public Place.
It should be emphasized that the information contained in this report
fails to adequately characterize the restrictions that a smoker might face in
his or her daily life. With municipalities, from coast to coast, eager to
legislate restrictions on behalf of'the presumed interests.-of the nonsmoking
population and with States adoptirgRegulations restricting smoking, State legis-
lative enactments are only part of the story. If 1978 maintains the momentum
of the past several years, and the months of January and February -seem to indi-
cate that it will, the tobacco industry as a whole can look forward to an uphill
legislative battle on the State level.
