Smoke-Free NC Now in Effect

Beginning January 2, 2010, smoking is prohibited in many more public places in North Carolina. Under the new law, enclosed areas of almost all bars and restaurants must be smoke-free. Smoking is also not allowed in most enclosed areas of lodging establishments, such as hotels, motels, and inns, if the establishment prepares and serves food or drink. A lodging establishment may designate no more than 20% of its guest rooms as smoking rooms.

The new state law does not require unenclosed areas of restaurants, bars, and lodging establishments to be smoke-free. These establishments may, however, voluntarily put into place a policy that prohibits smoking in these unenclosed areas.For more information visit the official government site...
