The
New Jersey Smoke-Free
Air Act (NJ SFAA) was passed by the New Jersey
legislature and signed by the Governor in January, 2006.
Effective April 15, 2006, the new law requires smokefree
environments in essentially all indoor workplaces and places
open to the public including restaurants and bars, except
gaming floors in casinos. Click
here to go to the NJ SFAA section of this website
where you'll find information on the provisions of the law,
enforcement, implementation, using local laws to enhance
and augment the law, background, other assistance, etc.
You
can also get other information about smokefree dining here.
You can find restaurants that went smokefree before the
NJ SFAA in our database of smokefree restaurants in New
Jersey, or get information about the why and how of smokefree
policies and laws for restaurants.
No
additions or corrections were made to the New Jersey database
since April 15, 2006. This online searchable database serves
as a model for other organizations that would like to develop
a similar database of smokefree restaurants if their jurisdiction
does not yet require 100% smokefree restaurants.
All
our resources about dining and restaurants can be accessed
