“Comprehensive” indicates a law that prohibits smoking in all indoor areas of private work sites, restaurants, and bars. Smoke-free restrictions in 1 or 2 of these 3 areas — private work sites, restaurants, bars — are indicated by listing the places where smoking is prohibited. “Partial/none” indicates a law that does not prohibit smoking in all indoor areas but permits it in designated smoking areas or in separately ventilated areas, or state has no smoke-free law.
