Suffolk County prohibits smoking in county parks, beaches, and many outdoor public spaces, building on New York's Clean Indoor Air Act with additional county-level restrictions covering tobacco, vaping, and cannabis.
New York Public Health Law Section 1399-n bars smoking in indoor workplaces and many outdoor areas including within 100 feet of public and private school entrances, hospital entrances, and outdoor dining areas adjacent to restaurants. Suffolk County has expanded these rules in county parks, beaches, recreation facilities, and on county-owned property. Towns such as Babylon and Brookhaven have additional outdoor smoking limits at playgrounds and athletic fields. The bans cover combustible tobacco, electronic cigarettes, and cannabis. Signs are posted, and SCDHS handles complaints jointly with park rangers.
Smoking in posted Suffolk County parks, beaches, or within prohibited outdoor zones near schools or hospitals leads to civil fines from SCDHS or county park rangers.
