Overview
This bill would allow new cigar lounges to operate in New Jersey under specific circumstances. It would permit municipalities to adopt ordinances allowing a limited number of these lounges to open, provided they meet certain requirements outlined in the legislation. Specifically, new lounges would need to apply for and maintain registration with the local board of health, adhering to regulations regarding food and beverage sales, location, ventilation, and the prohibition of hookah use. Existing cigar bars that opened before 2005 are currently exempt from certain smoke-free regulations.
