As of December 8, 2006, the state of Nevada now prohibits cigarette smoking in workplaces and other public areas.  The law was enacted partly to protect employees of unwanted exposure to the dangers of secondhand smoke.  Smoking is prohibited in any workplace, unless it is exempted by the act.

Cigarette smoking is prohibited in the following workplaces:

  • Public and private school settings
  • Child care facilities
  • Grocery, convenience, and drug stores
  • Restaurants, even those in gaming establishments
  • Bars that allow people under 21 to enter
  • Retail establishments including malls
  • Arcades and movie theaters
  • Government buildings and other public places

Workplaces exempted by Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act include:

  • Casinos or gambling areas where minors are prohibited
  • Bars where people under 21 are not allowed to enter
  • Strip clubs and brothels
  • Private residences
  • Tobacco conventions that are closed to the public
