Note. A 100% smoke-free law was defined as an ordinance or regulation that prohibits smoking in all indoor areas of these venues, including attached bars or separately ventilated rooms, and that does not include a size exemption. The study assessed 3 outcomes: (1) 100% smoke-free law covering restaurants, bars, and workplaces (yes or no); (2) 100% smoke-free law covering restaurants, bars, or workplaces (yes or no); and (3) the number of these 3 venue types covered by a 100% smoke-free law (0–3).
