Mobile restricts smoking and vaping near public building entrances, outdoor dining areas, parks, and beaches under city policy, while Alabama's Clean Indoor Air Act governs indoor venues.
Smoking in Mobile is governed by the Alabama Clean Indoor Air Act for indoor public spaces and city policy for outdoor zones. Lit tobacco and vape use are restricted within a buffer zone of public building entrances, around playgrounds, and within posted areas of parks. Outdoor dining patios may be smoke-free at the establishment's discretion or under city rule. Smoking on Mobile Bay beaches and waterfront parks faces additional litter-focused restrictions. Vape products fall under tobacco rules for purposes of smoke-free zones.
Smoking near building entrances, in posted parks, on playgrounds, or in smoke-free dining patios risks citations and littering fines for cigarette butts.
