Where Can I Smoke?

Once off ship, am I allowed to light up somewhere? I know Hawaii is pretty strict about it, but is it allowed anywhere near the ports?

I would like to know the answer to this as well -

Here are some of Hawaii's rules regarding smoking:

Smoking Regulations In Hawaii

Chapter 328 of Title 19 of the Hawaii Revised Statute prohibits smoking in all enclosed or partially enclosed areas, including buildings and vehicles owned, leased, or operated by the State or any county.

Under the laws of Hawaii, smoking is prohibited in all enclosed or partially enclosed areas open to the public, including airports and public transportation facilities and vehicles, and ticket, boarding, and waiting areas of public transit depots.[ii] It is also prohibited in aquariums, galleries, libraries, and museums[iii] and areas generally used by the general public, including restrooms, lobbies, reception areas, hallways, and other common areas, in businesses and nonprofit entities patronized by the public, offices, banks, laundromats, hotels, and motels[iv], bars[v], bowling alleys[vi], convention facilities[vii], educational facilities[viii] and elevators.[ix]

Smoking is permitted in facilities primarily used for exhibiting a motion picture, stage, drama, lecture, musical recital, or other similar performance, only when it is done as part of the performance.[x] Smoking in health care facilities[xi], hotel and motel lobbies, meeting rooms, and banquet facilities[xii], licensed child care and adult day care facilities[xiii], lobbies, hallways, and other common areas in apartment buildings, condominiums, retirement facilities, nursing homes, multifamily dwellings, and other multiple-unit residential facilities[xiv], nightclubs[xv], polling places[xvi], restaurants[xvii], and retail stores[xviii] is also prohibited.

Rooms, chambers, places of meeting or public assembly under the control of an agency, board, commission, committee or council of the State or county[xix], service lines[xx] and shopping malls[xxi] are also places where smoking is not permitted. Smoking is also prohibited in all enclosed or partially enclosed areas and in seating areas of sports arenas, outdoor arenas, stadiums, and amphitheaters.[xxii]

As regards work places, in Hawaii, smoking is prohibited in all enclosed or partially enclosed areas of places of employment.[xxiii]

However, an employee who works in a setting where an employer allows smoking does not waive or otherwise surrender any legal rights the employee may have against the employer.[xxiv]

The areas where the prohibition on smoking does not apply are private residences (except when used as a licensed child care, adult day care, or health care facility)[xxv], hotel and motel rooms that are rented to guests and are designated as smoking rooms (but not more than twenty per cent of rooms rented to guests in a hotel or motel may be so designated).[xxvi] Smoking is also allowed in retail tobacco stores (but smoke from these places should not infiltrate into areas where smoking is prohibited)[xxvii] and private and semiprivate rooms in nursing homes and long-term care facilities occupied by one or more persons, all of whom are smokers and have requested in writing to be placed in a room where smoking is permitted (but smoke from these places should not infiltrate into areas where smoking is prohibited).[xxviii] Smoking is permitted in outdoor areas of places[xxix] as well as when smoking is part of a production being filmed.[xxx] It is also allowed in state correctional facilities.

Look for a designated smoking area.
