Well here you go... Seems a lot of people don't really understand (including me) the law based on what I've been told.

Lexington, Kentucky was the first city in the State of Kentucky to put into effect a smoke-free ordinance. The Lexington Smoke-Free Indoor Air Law went into effect April 27, 2004 and prohibits smoking in any public building including but not limited to food service businesses, bars, taverns, bingo and bowling centers, pool hall, public areas in hotels/motels and any other building with public access. Penalties for violating this city ordinance begin at $100 for the first offense, $250 for the second offense and $500 for each offense thereafter. Individuals who are smoking in a prohibited area and have been asked to leave as a result can have trespassing charges brought against them should they refuse to leave. There are exceptions to this ordinance such as private homes, hotel/motel guest rooms, designated smoking areas in hospitals and nursing rooms, retail tobacco stores, private organizations and tobacco warehouses.
