What is the legal footage you must be from a county building to smoke?

This will depend entirely upon what state you are in. While more than 50% of US states have some type of anti-smoking statute, there are still states where it is legal to smoke inside the workplace. In other states, you can’t smoke inside the workplace, but you can smoke 1 inch outside the door. Other states such as Illinois, Ohio and New York require smokers to be at least 15 feet from the door.

For a more specific answer, please post a question mentioning your state.
