Is smoking allowed in a cigar bar?
Smoking is prohibited in all enclosed areas of bars, which includes the enclosed areas of a cigar bar. Establishments which are defined as bars under the Smokefree Air Act may allow cigar smoking only on unenclosed outdoor patios. Establishments which are defined as tobacco retailers under Smokefree Air Act may allow smoking in enclosed areas. In order for a cigar bar to be classified as a tobacco retailer, at least 80 percent of the cigar bar’s gross revenues must come from the sale of tobacco products and accessories, with no more than 20 percent of sales coming from the sale of alcohol or other products.
