List of US States that allows smoking in Bars?

In Oregon it's at the bar owners discretion.

In Iowa some of the bars still allow smoking where more do not,,,the reason for this is to see if more non-smokers will frequent the bar,,,but my guess is if they dont frequent it now they probably wont with a smoke free environment,,,,the bars industry may becoming to a screeching halt,,,Smokers such as I have a hard time going out and not being able to have a cigarette with a beer,,,it is silly that they used the excuse that increasing the cigarette tax will in some way help fix the roads yet there have been no road improvements except in the capitol city of Des Moines,,,Pretty unfair to those of us who either are unsuccessful at quitting or that one really does not want to quit just yet for what ever reasons,,,,

It is still a choice to smoke or not and the government and the public around us are making smokers a class to be discriminated against,,,its going to take a strong person to convince the world that they are now not discriminating against another race of people but against the activities of a free society,,,,its getting out of control,,,,

but in the country it seems no one is happy unless adding stress to some activity of the public,,,,

Perhaps if in Iowa we seen more work on the rural roads maybe it wouldnt be so bad to accept but for the last 3 years there has been nothing more than a patch here or there,,,,,

Most states do NOT have a law banning smoking in bars. However, the municipality, county, or bar owner could ban smoking.

The list of states that do ban smoking in bars is a short list. There are just a few.

.

Every state I go to (Arizona, Nevada, California, New York, Ohio) no longer allow smoking in bars. I think Nevada still does allow smoking in casino areas though, but I'm not sure.

Most bars are at the owner's discretion, however North Carolina still allows it in bars & clubs.

Maryland has banned it as has New York & California.

The list probably would be shorter if the question was," How many states DO NOT have a smoking ban?

Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana...

In missouri it varies by city.
