by Mary Jo Manzanares on April 13th, 2007

California may have led the smoking in public prohibition, but a number of other states have followed suit.

The following is list is based on the most recent information that I could find, and includes the states and US Territories that have complete banned smoking in public places, including restaurants and bars.

  • Arizona
  • California
  • Colorado
  • Connecticut
  • Delaware
  • District of Columbia
  • Hawaii
  • Maine
  • Massachusetts
  • New Jersey
  • New York
  • Ohio
  • Puerto Rico
  • Rhode Island
  • Vermont
  • Washington

As the smoke-free trend spread, Ireland jumped on the bandwagon, and became the first to adopt a country-wide prohibition on smoking. The trend has continued to spread through Europe, and I found some real surprises. Here’s the most recent list that I could find:

  • Belgium
  • Estonia
  • Finland
  • Iceland
  • Ireland
  • Italy
  • Lithuania
  • Luxembourg
  • Malta
  • Norway
