Is smoking prohibited at Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings?
Types of meetings are not listed in the law as exemptions. Exemptions are based on location. AA and NA meetings are often held in churches and community centers. These locations are smoke-free locations. Individuals may step outside (10 feet from any doorways, open windows or air intakes) to smoke, but they may not smoke in the facility. If an AA meeting is held in one of the exempt locations listed on the Fact Sheet [link to http://www.kssmokefree.org/fact_sheet.html] smoking is allowed. If the meeting is not held in an exempt location, smoking is prohibited in the building.
