Impact analysis
Fewer public-smoking spots could mean lower cleanup and health costs over time, though venues may face some signage or enforcement costs.
Non-smokers, families, park visitors, and bar and hospitality workers get cleaner air and less secondhand smoke.
Smokers lose some public places to light up, and some bars may have to adjust or enforce new rules.
