Smoke-Free Air Act → New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act – This law is far from being the only law named 'Smoke-free air act', as evidenced by the hatnote at the top of the page. NYC's smoking law is a clear example. I don't see any evidence that the New Jersey law is the primary topic for the term. Even the NJ GASP (based in New Jersey) refers to the law as the "New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act". The signage for the act also includes "New Jersey" in the name. If the move goes ahead, the page's current title can be redirected to Smoking ban. Needforspeed888 (talk) 05:37, 22 January 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Natg 19 (talk) 02:28, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. There are many, but until we have articles on the others, or on the concept in general, there is no need to move this article. BilledMammal (talk) 15:13, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment I should point out that even the official text of the law: http://www.njgasp.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/sfaa_2010_w-ecigs.pdf identifies it as the "New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act". Needforspeed888 (talk) 17:36, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Also, @BilledMammal:, if we follow your logic, then we need to rename New Jersey Childproof Handgun Law and New Jersey Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act for the same reason. Needforspeed888 (talk) 17:41, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
    • If their common name is "Childproof Handgun Law" and "Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act", then yes. We shouldn't disambiguate unless we need to. In this case, I believe the common name is "Smoke-Free Air Act", as most coverage prefers that term, though some do use "NJ Smoke-Free Air Act" when first mentioned.
