Arizona's Smoke-Free Arizona Act prohibits smoking in nearly all enclosed workplaces and within 20 feet of entrances. Mesa parks, light rail platforms, and city facilities apply additional outdoor restrictions, and cannabis smoking in public is banned statewide.
ARS Title 36 Chapter 6 (Smoke-Free Arizona Act, Prop 201 of 2006) bans smoking in enclosed public places and workplaces, requiring smokers to stay at least 20 feet from any entrance, open window, or ventilation intake. Mesa Parks rules ban smoking in playground areas, near splash pads, and at city sports facilities. Valley Metro light rail platforms in Mesa are smoke-free under Valley Metro Rail rules. Cannabis use in public spaces remains illegal under ARS 36-2851 even after Prop 207 legalization. Vaping is treated the same as smoking in most contexts.
Smoking inside enclosed workplaces, within 20 feet of entrances, in Mesa parks playground zones, on light rail platforms, or using cannabis in public can lead to civil penalties, park trespass orders, or misdemeanor citations.
