Smoking is prohibited in Fairfax County parks, on playgrounds, near building entrances, and at indoor public places under Chapter 41.1A of the County Code, with state restrictions on restaurant smoking under VA Code Section 15.2-2824.
Fairfax County Code Chapter 41.1A bans smoking inside county-operated facilities and restricts it on park property, particularly near playgrounds, sports fields, and pavilions. Virginia Code Section 15.2-2824 prohibits smoking in restaurants statewide unless in a structurally separated ventilated area. Vaping is treated as smoking under most county rules. Posted signs at park entrances mark restricted zones. Park Authority rangers and police may issue civil citations for violations. State law preempts most stricter local indoor smoking rules.
Smoking in posted park zones, near playgrounds, or inside county buildings triggers civil citations and possible trespass enforcement.
