This bill amends several sections of the Florida Statutes to enhance regulations regarding smoking and vaping in public places, specifically addressing marijuana products. It revises the legislative intent to include the protection of individuals from the health hazards of secondhand smoke and vapor from both tobacco and marijuana. The definition of "public place" is expanded to encompass various locations accessible to the public, including streets, parks, and common areas of buildings. Additionally, the definitions of "smoking" and "vape or vaping" are updated to include marijuana products alongside tobacco.

The bill explicitly prohibits smoking or vaping marijuana products in public places and customs smoking rooms, with the latter being required to adhere to this prohibition at all times. It also makes a conforming amendment to the cross-reference in the section regarding stand-alone bars, ensuring that the definition of food sales aligns with the updated terminology. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
