Wyoming has no statewide indoor smoking ban, leaving Cheyenne with limited smoking restrictions primarily covering city facilities, parks, and entrances to public buildings, while bars and many restaurants permit smoking inside.
Wyoming is one of the few states without a comprehensive Clean Indoor Air Act, meaning indoor smoking remains generally legal in private businesses across Cheyenne. The city has adopted limited rules banning smoking at city-owned facilities, including the Civic Center, library, and recreation buildings. Some Cheyenne parks restrict smoking near playgrounds and athletic fields. Entrances to public buildings typically require smoke-free buffers. Private employers, restaurants, and bars retain discretion to permit or prohibit smoking on their premises. Federal law banning smoking on F.E. Warren AFB applies on the base regardless of state preemption.
Smoking inside city facilities, near playgrounds, or in marked smoke-free zones triggers warnings or municipal fines, while private property owners may also enforce trespass for repeat violators.
