The Associated Press reported Tuesday that Clark County District Court Judge Douglas Herndon cleared the way for the voter-approved initiative to be enforced statewide. The Clean Indoor Air Act has been in effect since December 8 in most of Nevada, but was challenged in court by bars, supermarkets and convenience stores in Clark County.
The ruling means that state health inspectors can cite smokers who light up indoors as well as bar owners who don’t remove ash trays and post "no smoking" signs. The law will still allow smoking on casino gaming floors.
