This bill amends several sections of the Florida Statutes to enhance regulations regarding smoking and vaping in public places. It revises the legislative intent to include the protection of individuals from the health hazards of secondhand tobacco and marijuana smoke and vapor. The bill defines "public place" to encompass various locations accessible to the public, such as streets, parks, and common areas of buildings. It also updates the definitions of "smoking" and "vape or vaping" to include marijuana products, thereby broadening the scope of the law to cover both tobacco and marijuana use.

Additionally, the bill prohibits smoking and vaping in enclosed indoor workplaces and public places, with specific exceptions, such as the smoking of unfiltered cigars. It establishes that customs smoking rooms in airports cannot allow the smoking or vaping of marijuana products at any time. Furthermore, it makes a conforming amendment to the definition of gross revenue for stand-alone bars, ensuring that no more than 10 percent of their revenue comes from food sales. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
