From Manchester Ink LInk:

For the first time in 23 years, Gov. Chris Sununu said he anticipates announcing a severe drought law soon throughout the state. Manchester Ink Link reports that Sununu asked members of the Executive Council Wednesday to be prepared to vote by phone on a unique emergency law to prohibit outdoor fires near public woodlands to prevent forest fires.

This would include smoking of any kind near public woods. It would still allow for campfires at campgrounds which are manned, however, and fire pits in people’s own backyards.
