Can Clark County, the City of Las Vegas or the Health District ban smoking in public places?
With the passage of the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act on November 7, 2006, the Nevada state law was strengthened to ban smoking in most public places. The passage of the Act also allows local (city/ county/town) governments in Nevada to enact and approve tobacco ordinances or regulations in their jurisdictions even stricter than the new state law. These new laws went into effect on December 8, 2006, ten days after their approval by the Nevada Supreme Court.
