What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan 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, does not include holding, or inhaling
or exhaling vapor or a vaporized solution from, an electronic device that does not
contain tobacco.
