- No statewide smoking ban. Instead, in Kentucky, the only state laws dealing with smoking prohibit smoking in government offices, universities, and the state capitol, except in designated smoking areas. In 2004, the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled that the state's food and tobacco sales laws do not preempt cities and counties from enacting smoking regulations of any kind. In 2011 and 2012, bills to enact a statewide smoking ban in all enclosed workplaces, including all bars, restaurants, and gaming
facilities, as well as a bill in 2011 to ban smoking in cars in which minors are riding, all failed before the Kentucky General Assembly when they did not receive a committee hearing in the Kentucky House of Representatives.- Localities in Kentucky with smoking bans that include all bars and restaurants 13 total:
