Abstract:

The state-wide smoking ban in restaurants and bars is proving difficult to enforce. The Legislature gave no money for enforcement and the NC Division of Public Health does not have the manpower to enforce the law. Currently, citizens and business owners are the ones enforcing the law. A look at how the counties in the Triangle area will attempt to enforce the ban with their budgets is explored.
