It’s a whole new world today for restaurants and bars across New Hampshire.
Today a smoking ban goes into effect at New Hampshire’s watering holes.
The new ban, passed earlier this year by the Legislature, prohibits smoking in all restaurants and bars, as well as at any public event, such as a bingo night, at an otherwise private social, fraternal or religious club.
New Hampshire joins 21 other states, including the rest of New England, in banning smoking at restaurants and bars.
