Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits smoking in most indoor locations that are not private
residences, including lodging establishments. Current law defines "smoking" to
mean burning or holding, or inhaling or exhaling smoke from, any lighted smoking
equipment containing tobacco including a cigar, cigarette, or pipe.
This bill specifies that the term "smoking," for purposes of the general
prohibition against smoking in indoor locations, includes inhaling or exhaling vapor
or a vaporized solution from an electronic device.
