Introduced Text

New Jersey S3729 allows municipalities to permit new cigar lounges under specific conditions.

New Jersey S3729 permits municipalities to adopt ordinances allowing new cigar lounges within their jurisdiction, exempt from the "New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act." To open, a lounge must apply for registration with the local board of health, which can only be granted if the lounge meets certain criteria. These include not selling or serving food or alcoholic beverages, except at private events not open to the public; having a distinct entrance directly accessible by the public; being equipped with an appropriate exhaust system; and prohibiting the use of hookahs.
