Creates cigar night smoking ban exemption at racetracks and off-track wagering facilities.
This bill (A 1035) creates a temporary exemption from New Jersey's indoor smoking ban for racetracks and off-track wagering facilities. It allows these venues to host "cigar nights" in designated areas, limited to no more than five times per year per facility. The exemption specifically applies to controlled areas within these locations during such events, without altering the broader smoking ban elsewhere. The amendment to P.L.2005, c.383 (C.26:3D-59) adds this provision as a new subsection (e) under existing smoking ban exemptions.
