Commercial tobacco use shall be prohibited in all NHBP buildings, including the enclosed public and private worksites and public places within the jurisdiction of the NHBP, except as provided in §§ 8.15-7 and 8.15-8. All such buildings and other enclosed spaces shall remain free of all recreational tobacco use.
Except as provided in § 8.15-7, commercial tobacco use shall be prohibited outside of all NHBP buildings and other worksites. No recreational commercial tobacco use is permitted within 50 feet of any building entryway or window. Commercial tobacco use shall be permitted at the cigarette urns located 50 feet away from buildings and on sidewalks and roads that are not within 50 feet from a building entryway or window. Because of the close proximity to buildings, commercial tobacco use on Mno Bmadzewen Way is not permitted between 1 1/2 Mile Road and 50 feet past the western edge of the community building located at the tobacco urn. "No Commercial Tobacco Use" and "No Smoking" signs shall be placed on all current and future buildings. All used tobacco products and cigarettes must be disposed of in the cigarette urns or trash receptacles located at the designated smoking areas within NHBP land.
A gaming facility licensed by the NHBP Gaming Commission may allow commercial tobacco use in all designated gaming areas of the gaming facility, in other designated common areas open to the public, in designated smoking lounges established for employees of the gaming facility, and in designated areas located outside the gaming facility. The use of smokeless tobacco shall be permitted in the back of the house, because no one under the age of 18 is permitted in the back of the house and will not be influenced by visualization of commercial tobacco use. A gaming facility may designate not more than 25% of the hotel rooms at its location as designated "smoking rooms." The manager or person having control of the gaming facility shall clearly and conspicuously post "No Commercial Tobacco Use" signs or the international "No Smoking" symbol in all areas of the gaming facility where commercial tobacco use is prohibited and remove all ashtrays and other smoking paraphernalia from such areas.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prohibit recreational commercial tobacco use by persons in privately owned residences located on land owned by the Tribe or on the Reservation; however, this exception does not authorize recreational commercial tobacco use in rental homes owned by the Tribe.
