SUMMARY

 
Current law prohibits smoking in the enclosed areas of
restaurants and most other public places, but does not prohibit
smoking in taverns, lounges and certain other places where food
and alcohol are sold. This bill prohibits smoking in the
enclosed areas of places licensed for the sale of food and
alcohol while they are open for those purposes.
