California Government Code §7597 bans smoking on all state beaches and parks, and OC Parks prohibits smoking and vaping in county parks; cigarettes and cannabis are restricted within 25 feet of building entrances under Labor Code §6404.5.
AB 1718 (2022) prohibits smoking, vaping, and disposing of cigarette filter waste on all California state beaches and parks. OC Parks regulations extend the prohibition to county-operated regional parks like O'Neill, Irvine Regional, and Mile Square. Labor Code §6404.5 bans smoking inside enclosed workplaces and within 20 feet of main entrances, exits, and operable windows. Cannabis is treated identically under Health & Safety Code §11362.3. Beach jurisdictions vary: County-administered Salt Creek and Doheny enforce the state ban, while incorporated cities like Newport Beach add their own pier-and-boardwalk rules.
Smoking in prohibited zones triggers infraction fines starting at $25 for state parks/beaches and $250 for repeated workplace-entrance violations under Labor Code §6404.5(j).
