Smoking Ban in Gatlinburg TN
If you’re a smoker and plan on visiting Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge or any other part of TN, then you need to be aware of a statewide smoking ban starting July 1, 2007 the affects all enclosed public areas, which means restaurants no longer allow people to smoke inside. The exceptions are:
- Private Clubs
- Bars that only allow 21 and over at all times
- Accomodations (there will still be smoking rooms that you can stay in)
- Tobacco stores
- Businesses with less than 3 employees
Another exception is possibly any open-aired patios at restaurants. If you’re a smoker, you may want to find restaurants with outdoor seating. If it’s winter time…well, I guess you have to figure out how bad you need a puff!
I will be in Gatlinburg Dec 2-6-07 .We come down to the mts. 3 or 4 times a year..will still come but don’t like the “no” smoking ban…
As long as I can still smoke in the Edgewater Motel I will still be happy.. Would like some “free” show tickets if possible…Thanks…Louetta
