Smoke Free Status of Outdoor Places

Does the law require any outdoor or quasi-outdoor spaces to be smoke free or restrict smoking in any way? Examples of such places include within a specified distance of doorways, outdoor patios of bars or restaurants, parks/beaches, outdoor stadiums, and outdoor markets.
Yes

Outdoor areas of workplaces

Analysis

The law prohibits smoking “anywhere in workplaces.” Therefore, we interpret outdoor areas of workplaces to be covered under the smoking ban.
