Operating a Smoke-Free Business
The Colorado Clean Air Act of 2006 requires indoor areas to be smoke-free, from restaurants and bars to grocery stores and indoor sports arenas. Exceptions include:
- Businesses with three or fewer employers that do not allow access to the public
- Cigar tobacco bars
- Limousines under private hire
- Residences, unless used for daycare or child care
