North Dakota Economic Data
In March 2008, the The Bismarck Tobacco Free Coalition stated that an analysis
of tax records shows a smoking ban had no effect on restaurant and bar revenue
in Bismarck.
In 2001 Minot, North Dakota, passed the state's first smokefree restaurant ordinance. A 2003 study, based on six years of sales tax receipts, found no adverse economic impact on restaurants after passage of the smokefree ordinance in Minot, North Dakota. (Buettner, Kelly, Moseley, Frank., "An Economic Analysis of a Smoke-free Restaurant Ordinance in a Midwestern Frontier," September, 2003)
Restaurant owners and others in Minot have praised the smokefree ordinance and its positive effect on business.
