As an expert in the field of smoking and tobacco laws, I can tell you that there are no specific restrictions on the use of flavored pipe tobacco in Clark County, Nevada. However, it is important to be aware of the laws surrounding tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure. The Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act does not restrict smoking outside building entrances. However, business owners have the right to implement their own voluntary “no smoking” policies, specifying a certain distance from their establishment where smoking can be allowed.
These policies minimize the amount of tobacco smoke that enters a building through doors, windows, ventilation systems, or any other means, and allow customers to enter your business without exposure to second-hand smoke. Tobacco flavorings and vaping products, including menthol, make smoking easier because they taste good and make it easier to inhale the products. Secondhand smoke, also referred to as ambient tobacco smoke, is a combination of the smoke from the end that a cigarette burns and the smoke that smokers breathe out. Exposure to second-hand smoke occurs when a tobacco product is smoked in an enclosed area or near another person.
As the coordinator of the anti-smoking program for the Southern Nevada Health District, Maria Azzarelli mapped stores that sold vapor-based products in Clark County. These products contain liquid nicotine and should be used responsibly.
