They should have another $1 tax on all packs of smokes just to pay for people to clean up the butts around town...

actually, I believe ND law says you can't smoke within 50 feet of a non-smoking establishment....this is off the top of my head, so i can't remember for sure. Also, by moving (drunk) people away from their property, should a fight break out amongst those smoking (or those complaining about smokers) it is not their problem as they are off the property.

So is there a no smoking law in North Dakota or Fargo, like it is in the cities? No smoking in any establishment? Because I was talking with one of my co-workers and she was complaining how bad the Aquarium is for smoking.

It has to do with the amount of income based on food sales. If you make a certain % of your revenue in prepaired food, you cannot have smoking in the establishment.

Smoking indoors is banned in Hennepin county, period.

On March 31, 2005, a smoking ban went into effect in Hennepin County that prohibited smoking in indoor areas of restaurants and bars. Ordinance #24 protects the health of the people of Hennepin County by creating a smoke-free environment in all licensed food and beverage establishments. The ordinance prevents the exposure of second-hand smoke to both patrons and employees of food establishments, thereby protecting their health. The ban was modified slightly in December of 2005 to exempt stand-alone bars and private clubs. Less than 1% of the establishments in Hennepin County are currently exempt from the ban.

if the business makes 50%+ of their income from alcohol then they can be a smoking establishment. As far as the distance, you have to be 15 feet from a public entrance.
