Fresno bans smoking in parks, transit stops, outdoor dining, within 20 feet of building entrances, and at city sports facilities under FMC Chapter 10, covering tobacco, cannabis, and vape devices.
Fresno's smoke-free outdoor ordinance prohibits smoking in city parks, FAX bus stops, and outdoor restaurant patios. State law AB 846 also bans smoking in all California state parks and beaches. Enforcement falls to code enforcement and FPD with infraction citations. The ordinance covers e-cigarettes and cannabis under FMC Chapter 10. Multifamily property smoking bans are increasingly common in subsidized housing. Yosemite gateway tourism and high air pollution concerns in the San Joaquin Valley drove tighter rules.
Smoking tobacco, cannabis, or vapor in restricted zones is an infraction with fines starting around $100 and escalating for repeat citations.
