Smoke Free Air Law

Indiana's "Smoke Free Air" Law (House Enrolled Act 1149) went into effect on July 1, 2012, and prohibits smoking in most public places and workplaces.

• Also referred to as a statewide smoking ban, the law sets a minimum standard for indoor workplaces and public places where smoking is regulated, and defines where people can and cannot smoke in communities where a current policy does not exist.
• A city or county may pass a stricter law than the statewide law by including additional smoking regulations.
• Smoking a lit cigarette, cigar, pipe or other tobacco device or smoking equipment is not permitted indoors, except in businesses that are exempted under the law.
