INTRODUCTION
This report is divided into two separate but interrelated sections. The
first is a compendium of smoking restrictions currently in effect ( as of
December 31, 1977 ) identifying the places in which the smoking or the carrying
of lighted tobacco products is restricted in some way. Restrictions take three
different forms: a complete ban, a restriction of smoking to designated areas,
a restriction of non-smoking to designated areas. With the exception of transit
vehicles, elevators, and some cultural areas, where the designation of a smoking
area would be difficult, the vast majority of enactments currently in force
across the Nation are designed to restrict smoking to designated areas. The table
on both sides of the yellow sheet gives an at-a-glance picture of which States
are restricting smoking and in what places. The law citation is also included.
With only a few exceptions, TMA has all of these enactments on file.
The second section of this report is a listing for the years 1975 and 1976
( pages 1-9 ) and 1977 ( pages 10-17 ) of all legislation known to TMA introduced
and restrictive in nature. This is the third report of this type issued by TMA;
the other two cover the twenty-five year period, 1950-1974.

I. SMOKING RESTRICTIONS ENACTED BY THE STATES AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1977
Thirty-three States have enacted 52 pieces of legislation that are
currently in effect nationwide. The range of restrictions is broad extending
from Kentucky's smoking restriction on school property to Utah's and Minnesota's
comprehensive enactments that effectively restrict smoking in any public
place, with the exception of bars. Three additional States have restrictions
though these have not been brought into effect by legislative enactment.
-1. Busiress/Work .P.Z aces
Six_states restrict smoking in business or work places.
Alaska permits the posting of no-smoking signs in such areas.
I
Minnesota prohibits smoking in "indoor areas, used by the general public
or.serving as a place of work" except in designated areas and specifically men-
tions "retail stores", "offices and other commercial establishments" but excludes
I'private, enclosed offices occupied exclusively by smokers even though such offices
may be visited.by nonsmokers", and specifically excludes "factories, warehouses,
and similar places of work not usually frequented by the general public, except
that the department of labor and industry shall, in consultation with the state
board of health, established rules to restrict or prohibit smoking in those places
of work where the close proximity of workers or the inadequacy of ventilation causes
smoke pollution..."
New York prohibits smoking while dispensing flammable substances.
Oregon asks the Personnel Division to adopt regulatory rules "restricting
smoking in places of employment" which would involve setting standards for the
designation of smoking areas, among other provisions;
:, Utah'defines "public place" as "any enclosed indoor area used by the gen-
eral public or serving as a place of work" and specifically mentions "retail stores",
"offices and other commercial estab lishments", prohibits smoking in a "public place"
except in designated areas, and specifically restricts smoking in "offices, shops,
warehouses, factories, mines, and similar places of employment not usually fre-
quented by the general public" by asking the local boards of health to establish
rules for the restrictions.
Washington did not enact but promulgated Regulations (the only Regulations
listed in this report since the Report, with this exception, co'vers only enact-
ments) that prohib it smoking in public areas of retail stores and financial insti-
tutions.
Depending on how one interprets the phrase "any area used by or open to
the public',' Georgia might be considered another addition to this list provided that
the area is designated by a no-smoking sign.

ii
2. Cultural Places
Nineteen states currently restrict smoking in one or more of the following:
indoor theatres, art museums, galleries, libraries, concert halls, auditoriums,
lectures, opera houses, and other similar facilities. Most of those states marked
with an X in this category have mentioned at least four of the above. Several of
the states allow for smoking in separated lobbies,of such establishments.
3. Indoor Sports Arena
This category is meant to refer to arenas both for public viewing and for
public performance. Seven states now restrict smoking in these areas.
Alaska specifically mentions gymnasiums, swimming pools, or publicly oper-
ated "places of entertainment or recreation".
Colorado specifically mentions enclosed "sporting arenas" among those areas
where smoking shall be allowed only in a lobby that is "reasonably separated from
the spectator area".
Minnesota mentions "arenas" specifically and has an extremely broad definition
of "public place" in any event.
New Hampshire restricts smoking in the public area of a "sports arena".
-Oklahoma limits its restriction to "indoor roller skating rinks'of a per-
manent structure".
Utah mentions "arenas" in its widely embracing enactment; and
Washington regulates smoking in "indoor sports arenas".
4. R--staurants/Cafeterias
While some states, suc_h___as_-Caiifornia~Aave enacted legislation that affects
the operation of restaurants and cafeterias in publicly-owned buildings (Category
7), only 4 states have restricted smoking in private establishments to designated
areas : -
Michigan requires "food service" establishments that have a seating capacity
of 50 or more to have a non-smoking area.
' Minnesota
mentions "restaurants " specifically.
Utah specifically includes "restaurants", "cafes", and "cafeterias" in its
definition of "place of business", and accordingly restricts smoking to designated
areas; and
North Dakota restricts smoking to designaied areas in "restaurants, food
service establishments, dining rooms, cafes, cafeterias, or other rooms used pri-
marily for the service of food" provided they have a seating capacity for 50 or
more.persons.

iii
Colorado encourages but does not require the seating of smokers away from
non-smokers; the proprietor is given the right of "optional prohibition" and is
required to post a sign indicating whether provisions have been made for nonsmokers.
5. Food Stores
This category refers to supermarkets and other food outlets. Five states
have enacted legislation dealing with these areas.
Massachusetts mentions "supermarkets".
Michigan refers to retail food establishments for home consumption.
Minnesota includes food stores under the broad category of "retail stores".
Rhode Island specifically includes "supermarkets" in its prohibition; and
Utah includes these areas in its category "retail stores".
6. Health Facilities
Hospitals, nursing homes, medical or dental clinics, and other health care
facilities are included in this category. All of the 22 states marked in this
category restrict smoking in at least one of the above while most tend to include
more than one place even if the restriction is meant to apply, for example, only
to "waiting rooms" in those areas. For qualifications regarding these restrictions
make use of the "Comments " section on the chart. With the exception of transit
vehicles, there are more enacted smoking restrictions regarding health facilities
.than in any other area.
7. Publicly-Owmd Buildings
This category posed a'problem of classification because of its generality.
If an enactment made specific reference to publicly-owned buildings whether these
were hospitals or cultural places and designated only publicly-owned buildings for
the restriction, category marked is that of publicly-owned buildings. Since the,
enacted legislation rarely treats schools as publicly-owned, at least in terms=.off
the language if not the spirit, specific mention is made under "Comments" if :the
restriction is meant to apply only to public schools. The same is true of transit
vehicl8s. If the restriction is meant to apply to both public and private estab-
lishments of a particular type, both are marked on the chart.
8. Public/Government Meetings
This category includes all meetings or gatherings of either elected officials,
in formal meeting places such as House or Senate Chambers, Committee meetings, etc.
or of citizens in non-private meetings.' If the restriction is only related to activ-
ities by government representatives, this is noted under "Comments" and marked
with an *. Seventeen states now restrict smoking in public/government meetings but

iv
only nine of these have come by way of enactments with the others resulting from
Resolutions, Regulations, or Referendums in the respective Legislatures.
9. Schools
Unless qualified under "Comments" this category refers to al]l schools.
Some enactments refer specifically to primary and secondary schools while others
mention colleges or only public schools. Fourteen states now restrict smoking in
schools.
10. EZe vators
Twenty-one states have formally enacted legislation prohibiting or re-
stricting smoking in elevators though , others such as New York regulate smoking
in these areas.
11. Transit Vehicles
This category has been broadly defined to include buses, trains, or planes
whether publicly operated or not. If the enactment makes specific reference to
public conveyances, this has been indicated under "Comrnents ". More states have
smoking restrictions on the books for transit vehicles than for any other type of
area-related restriction with 26 states participating.
12. Any Public Place
In reading through the enactments one encounters a reference to all public
places that meet certain conditions whether these be exhibiting a no-smoking sign
as in the case of Georgia, or requirements as to seating capacity as in the case of
North Dakota and OAio or general definition such as "any enclosed indoor area" as
in the cases of Minnesota and Utah.

ON READING THE TABLE
Since the table compresses a considerable amount of information, a
few words on reading the table will prove helpful.
1. X- asks you.to refer to "Comments" where particular qualifications
are described.
2. If there are several (X-)s, the order of Comments reflects the left
to right order of (X-) s.
1
3. X , for example, draws your attention to the particular enactment
responsible for the given restriction. Xs without superscripts
refer to unmarked enactments. .
2
4. X, , as for example in the case of Connecticut, indicates two actions
on the same restricted area.
5. Laws relating to enforcement, e.g. posting signs, when related to
previously restricted areas are not included here. Only in the case
of Washington's comprehensive Regulations and Kansas' House
Resolutions are anything but enactments included on the table.

II. TOBACCO AND HEALTH RESTRICTIVE LEGISLATION: 1975, 1976, 1977
Unlike the material presented in the table, the list of restrictive
bills and enactments contained in this section is not limited to areas but
includes such categories as sales to minors, anti-tobacco education, greater
enforcement of smoking restrictions, restrictions on sample distribution and
tobacco advertising, among others.
With few exceptions the format for 1975-1976 (pages 1-9) is the same as
that for 1977 (pages 10-17). In order to help us determine the likelihood of
passage of bills coming before the 1978 State Legislative Sessions, reference
to the disposition of similar bills introduced in earlier Sessions should
prove helpful. For this reason, more extensive footnotes regarding dispositions
are.-contained in the 1977 list. Four corrections should be noted: Michi an
bills H 4158 and H 4294, introduced in 1975, were approved in March of 1976 and
should appear with an asterisk (*) indicating "enacted". The same is true for
Oregon's H 2502 (1975), approved.June.13, 1975 and Utah's House Resolution 15
-
- - - --- --~ -
(1975), adopted March 13, 1975. - - -- --- -
. TRENDS IN LEGISLATION.
Bills and Enactments
- - - - - - --- -. - - - - °
From 1950 through 1970, a little more than 500 restrictive bills were
introduced across the country. The figure for the somewhat overlapping period,
1966 through 1974, is 470 while the three year period, 1975 through 1977, saw
no fewer than 386 introductions. During these respective intervals, there were
45, 42, and 41 legislative enactments.
- The average number of bills/year for the 1950-1970 period is about 24,
for 1966-1974 about 52, and for 1975-1977 about 129 indicating the enormous
growth in legislative interest in tobacco and health. The average number of
enactments/year has also been rising from about 2 to about 5 to about 14 for
the respective periods.
Interestingly, the ratio of enactments to bills introduced during the
period, 1966-1974, remained at about .09, the same'as for 1950-1970. The
ratio, however, jumped to .11 for 1975-1977 indicating that not only are more
bills being introduced per year and enacted per year, but also the chance of
an enactment once a restrictive bill has been introduced has also been rising.-
For 1975 there were 24 enactments out of 156 proposals - the highest
ratio on record. In 1976, when a number of States were not in session, there
were 3 enactments out of 72-introductions while in 1977, there were 14 enact-
ments out of 158 proposals.
Subjects
.. The subjects of sales to minors, tobacco education, warning labels,
advertising, and.vending machine sales were prominent both with regard to
introductions and enactments during the period -1950-1970. With the passage
of both the Federal Cigarette La1elling and Advertising Act, effective
1-1
, n
,o
X=

vii
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.
