Health20177 sections

This Act amends the existing tobacco control law to specifically target hookah bars. It defines a hookah bar as an establishment where people smoke tobacco from communal hookahs and bans the operation of such establishments in all places, including restaurants. The law empowers police officers to seize equipment used in these bars and imposes strict penalties, including imprisonment for one to three years and fines, to prevent the public from being exposed to secondhand smoke and to curb the growing trend of hookah consumption.
