Prohibits smoking within 20 feet of areas outside of indoor public places or workplaces.
This bill amends New Jersey's Smoke-Free Air Act to prohibit smoking within 20 feet of the outside entrances of indoor public places and workplaces (like restaurants, stores, or offices). It directly affects people using or working in these public spaces, as well as nearby pedestrians, by restricting smoking near building entrances. The law adds this 20-foot buffer zone to the existing ban on indoor smoking, while maintaining the current prohibition on smoking on school grounds. Exceptions apply for tobacco retailers, casinos, and certain cigar lounges, as specified in the bill. The policy change aims to reduce secondhand smoke exposure in outdoor areas adjacent to public buildings.
