Is Florida banning public smoking, vaping? How smoking laws may change
A Florida bill proposes to expand smoking and vaping restrictions to nearly all public places, including outdoor areas.Summary
A new bill in Florida seeks to broaden the definition of “public place” and expand restrictions on smoking and vaping. Currently, vaping is banned indoors, and marijuana smoking is prohibited in public spaces even with a medical card. The proposed legislation, sponsored by State Senator Joe Gruters and Senator Ana Maria Rodriguez, would ban both smoking and vaping in most public areas, including streets, parks, beaches, and common areas of various buildings. It would also explicitly include marijuana in the definition of smoking. While Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC products with less than 0.3% THC are legal for those 21 and over, the bill aims to clarify and expand existing regulations under the Florida Clean Air Act (FCAA). If passed and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, the law would take effect on July 1.
