バーモント・ニューハンプシャー州・マサチューセッツ州喫煙規制
バーモント州およびマサチューセッツ州ではレストラン、バー室内での喫煙を禁止している。ニューイングランド
地方で唯一飲食店内での喫煙を認めていたニューハンプシャー州では、2007年6月に喫煙規制法案に州知事が署名し、
2007年9月から、すべてのレストラン屋内での喫煙は違法となった。バーも、プライベートクラブ内でのバーを除き、
すべての店で全面禁煙となった。
導入の理由は飲食店で働く従業員と顧客との健康を守るためとしている。筆者が旅行していたときは飲食店における
法的規制実施直後であったことになるが、受動喫煙防止法が実行されたとの表示は見あたらなかった。しかし、宿泊
したニューハンプシャー州、Woodstock Inn は全室禁煙であり、レストランも全面禁煙であった。
