Analysis by the 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.
