The bill amends several sections of Florida Statutes related to smoking in public places, with the primary aim of enhancing public health protections against secondhand smoke and vapor from both tobacco and marijuana products. It revises the legislative intent to include the health hazards of marijuana smoke and vapor, and it introduces a new definition for "public place," which encompasses various locations accessible to the public, such as streets, parks, and common areas of buildings. The definitions of "smoking" and "vaping" are also updated to include marijuana products, thereby broadening the scope of the law to cover these substances.

Additionally, the bill prohibits smoking and vaping in public places, with specific exceptions, and establishes that customs smoking rooms in airports cannot allow the smoking or vaping of marijuana products at any time. It also revises the requirements for stand-alone bars to ensure compliance with revenue regulations related to food sales. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2026.
