Florida HB 105 (2022) authorized municipalities to ban smoking at public beaches and parks. Orlando prohibits smoking and vaping in city parks including Lake Eola, with exceptions for unfiltered cigars under state law.
Florida House Bill 105 (effective July 2022) amended the Florida Clean Indoor Air Act to authorize counties and municipalities to restrict smoking at public beaches and parks they own or operate. Orlando exercised this authority, banning cigarette smoking and vaping at all city parks including Lake Eola Park, Dickson Azalea Park, Loch Haven Park, and recreational facilities. Unfiltered cigars remain exempt under the state preemption carve-out. Signs at park entrances notify visitors. Violators receive warnings, then citations under park rules. The policy supports public-health goals and reduces cigarette litter near playgrounds and water features.
Smoking cigarettes or vaping in posted Orlando parks results in warnings followed by civil citations, with fines escalating for repeat violations within the same park system.
