The ANR Foundation is pleased to announce the October 2005 quarterly update to the lists and maps of U.S. municipalities and states with 100% smokefree laws now in effect. Many new cities and counties are now represented:
Brand New:
Luverne and Headland, AL
Athens/Clarke County, GA
Columbus, IN
Abilene, KS
Georgetown, KY
Grambling, LA
Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego Counties, as well as Detroit, MI
Meeker County, MN
Mayersville, MS (comprehensive)
Grand Forks, ND
Edgewood, NM (comprehensive)
Westerville, OH (comprehensive)
Mercer Co, WV
Strengthened:
Austin, TX, now comprehensive
Appleton, WI, now comprehensive
Steamboat Springs, CO, strengthened
Lewis County, WV, strengthened
Altogether, as a result of both local and statewide smokefree laws, 5,707 municipalities now have 100% smokefree private workplaces/government buildings, and/or restaurants, and/or bars, protecting 37.2% of the U.S. population.
There are now 2,057 U.S. municipalities with some sort of local clean indoor air law, 416 of which provide 100% smokefree protection for private workplaces/government buildings, and/or restaurants, and/or bars. Fourteen states have strong laws now in effect that qualify for at least one of the 100% smokefree list categories. A total of 33 states now have 100% smokefree air laws at the local level.
A total of 115 municipalities have ordinances in effect that provide for 100% smokefree workplaces, restaurants, AND bars - representing a 539% increase in comprehensive smokefree protections since the beginning of 2000.
More specifically: 23.2% of the U.S. population now lives in cities or states with smokefree private workplaces/government buildings (non-restaurant/bar), 34.4% in areas with smokefree restaurants, and 25.9% in areas with smokefree freestanding bars. 11.5% are currently protected in all three categories.
Please note that these smokefree lists reflect only those laws that are in effect and that result in entirely smokefree enclosed workplaces (includes both public and private non-hospitality workplaces, including, but not limited to, offices, factories, and warehouses), restaurants (includes any attached bar in the restaurant), and/or bars without exemptions. Laws that allow for separate ventilation, size exemptions, or smoking rooms are not included on the ANR Foundation 100% smokefree lists.
If you know of a municipality which has passed a smokefree ordinance that does not appear on the list, please let me know, at maggie.hopkins@no-smoke.org. We will make every effort to make sure the ordinance appears on the next quarterly update.
The lists are updated on a quarterly basis. The next quarterly update will be in early January, 2006.
