Kingdom City Prohibition of Smoking in Places of Employment ordinance (§ 235.040)

A. Smoking shall be prohibited in all enclosed facilities within places of employment. This includes common work areas, auditoriums, classrooms, conference and meeting rooms, private offices, elevators, hallways, medical facilities, cafeterias, employee lounges, stairs, restrooms, vehicles, and all other enclosed facilities. Smoking is not prohibited in vehicles if occupied exclusively by the driver, or if all passenger(s) are smokers who consent.

B. Smoking is not prohibited in the place of employment of a sole proprietor with no other employee(s) or in a place of employment of any individual who is the sole employee at a facility to which the public is not invited nor in which the public is permitted, provided such place of employment is located in a freestanding structure occupied solely by the business, or:

1. Is completely enclosed on all sides by solid walls extending from the floor to the underside of the floor or roof deck above;

2. Complies with all applicable fire and building code requirements; and

3. Has a separate ventilation system whereby the air from such space is immediately exhausted to an outdoor area rather than being recirculated inside and is negatively pressurized to prevent back streaming of secondhand smoke into adjoining areas located in a freestanding structure.
