Bavarian Smoking Ban Referendum, 2010
From Ballotpedia
A Smoking Ban Referendum was held on July 4, 2010, in the German state of Bavaria. The measure was approved with 61 percent of voters in favor of the ban.[1]
The measure was designed to ban smoking in public buildings. The ban went into effect on August 1, 2010.[2]
Proponents needed to collect 940,000 valid signatures throughout the state of Bavaria to qualify the measure for the ballot. They submitted 350,000 signatures more than the requirement. A ban on smoking was passed in 2008, though the restriction on smoking in public buildings was later lifted. Supporters of the measure sought to reinstate the ban on smoking in public buildings.[3]
