It depends. If the store or other place is required to comply with the state's public health laws governing sanitation in food establishments, it will likely need to comply with the new prohibition on smoking. A convenience store that has a hot food bar where a person can buy a hot dog, chili and other similar types of food will be inspected and graded by staff from a local health department. That store will need to comply with the new smoking law. The convenience store across the street, however, may not serve such food and therefore would not need to comply with the new smoking law.
