The Kansas Clean Indoor Air Act is effective July 1, 2010. The law covers indoor public places and workplaces including restaurants and bars, even restaurants and bars in casinos. Smoking is prohibited in taxis, limousines and within 10 feet from entrances and air intakes of such facilities statewide. Exemptions include 20% of hotel/motel rooms, casino gaming floor, tobacco shops and private clubs licensed before Jan. 1 2009. Find more detailed information on the resources page. |
Smoke free bills have been introduced in 2010 in the Missouri Senate as well as House of Representatives. These are comprehensive bills that would provide protections from second hand smoke in public places and workplaces including restaurants, bars and casinos. No action has been taken in either house. |
