Oregon - The Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act

Statewide smoking ban: Effective January 1, 2009, after being signed into law on June 26, 2007, the 1981 Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act (as previously amended in 2001) was amended to ban smoking statewide in all enclosed workplaces in Oregon, including bars and restaurants, as well as within 10 feet of the entrances, exits, or windows of such places.

The Act exempts (1) private residences except when serving as a childcare or adult care facility, (2) designated hotel/motel smoking rooms, (3) spaces designated for traditional Native American religious and cultural ceremonies, (4) retail tobacco shops, and (5) cigar bars.

Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the Act.
