The possession of lighted smoking materials in public places may be hazardous to the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and indoor environment. The purpose of this division is to protect the public by restricting the possession of lighted smoking materials to designated smoking areas within public places. This section is intended to protect the public from the involuntary inhalation of tobacco smoke in places which are normally frequented by the general public. It is not intended to restrict smoking in purely private places.
