Smoking in public is banned.
1632
General Court passes a law that prohibits the use of “tobacco in any inne, or common victual house, except in a private room there, so as the master of said house nor any guest there shall take offence.” The first anti-smoking law in the British Colonies, it establishes a fine of two shillings and sixpence for every offense. (1 penny-BGL) The law is updated in 1638.*
