Idaho Clean Indoor Air Act under Idaho Code 39-5501 covers indoor workplaces, while Boise restricts outdoor smoking in city parks, near building entrances, and at the Greenbelt under Boise Parks rules.
The Idaho Clean Indoor Air Act, codified at Idaho Code 39-5501 and following sections, bans smoking in nearly all enclosed workplaces and most restaurants, with limited exemptions for stand-alone bars, cigar lounges, and tobacco shops. Boise extends restrictions outdoors: smoking and vaping are prohibited in city parks, on the Greenbelt, near playgrounds, and within twenty feet of building entrances on city property. The 2023 zoning rewrite reinforced patio-area limits for restaurants. Boise Parks staff and Boise Police enforce park bans, and signage at Ann Morrison, Julia Davis, and Kathryn Albertson Parks marks no-smoking zones.
Smoking in restricted outdoor areas brings fines under Boise park rules; indoor violations under the Idaho Clean Indoor Air Act can lead to business citations and license consequences.
