South Dakota bans smoking inside public buildings and workplaces under SDCL Ch. 34-46, and Sioux Falls extends restrictions to city parks, playgrounds, trails, and entrances to municipal buildings.
The 2010 statewide Indoor Clean Air Act (SDCL Ch. 34-46) prohibits smoking and vaping in all enclosed public places and workplaces, including bars and restaurants. Sioux Falls Park Board rules ban smoking and vaping at playgrounds, splash pads, organized youth sports fields, swimming pools, and within posted distances of building entrances. Cigarette disposal in park trash cans and littering of butts are also enforced. Enforcement falls to SFPD and Park Rangers; first contacts are typically warnings, with fines for refusal to extinguish or repeat offenses.
Smoking or vaping inside public buildings, on playgrounds, at city pools, or near posted building entrances triggers warnings, fines, and SD Health Dept complaints for repeat workplace violations.
