New Jersey A1035 creates an exemption to the indoor smoking ban for racetracks and off-track wagering facilities to host cigar nights up to five.

New Jersey A1035 amends the state's smoking ban on indoor public places to allow racetracks and off-track wagering facilities to host cigar nights in controlled areas. These events can occur no more than five times per year per facility. The bill specifies that the exemption applies to racetracks and off-track wagering facilities, allowing them to temporarily permit smoking during these events. The bill aims to balance public health concerns with the interests of these facilities in hosting special events.
