Texas

• No statewide smoking ban. Instead, since 1997 Texas' statewide smoking law only prohibits smoking in activities of public schools on or off school property, elevators, theatres, libraries, museums, hospitals, buses, airplanes, and trains, as long as these areas are open to the general public, unless the proprietor designates the place for smoking and posts appropriate warning signs. Violation of this law is a class C misdemeanor. Texas law is silent as to whether local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the state. As of April 2009, 49 cities in Texas have enacted local smoking bans to varying degrees.
