Vacaville, CA Public Conduct: Outdoor Smoking Restrictions (2026)

091 defines "park" and "recreational facility" broadly to include any city park, parkway, mall, plaza, greenbelt, garden, lake, and any other city property, including structures, reserved for passive or active recreation. 3 covers spots the City Manager has posted allowing smoking inside the park, and it separately covers the parking lot or public sidewalk directly adjacent to a park's perimeter, which counts as a designated area whether or not a "smoking permitted" sign has been posted there; the smoking ban applies to the park interior, not the abutting sidewalk or lot.

6 covers the lighting, inhaling, exhaling or burning of any pipe, cigar, or cigarette, or carrying a lighted one, including but not limited to tobacco or "other combustible weed or plant," language broad enough to reach marijuana smoking as well as tobacco. Tot-lot sandbox areas and playgrounds, as defined by California Health and Safety Code Section 104495, are carved out of this section and governed instead by that state statute. 16.
