Corona, CA Public Conduct: Public Marijuana Use (2026)

020(E) defines "smoke" or "smoking" to include lighting, burning or heating any cigar, cigarette, pipe, electronic smoking device, hookah or similar equipment using tobacco plant product, cannabis, or any other combustible substance, as well as simply possessing a lit cannabis product or operating an electronic smoking device. 030(A) applies that definition to prohibit smoking inside any building owned, leased or occupied by the city of Corona, within a reasonable distance of a main exit, entrance or operable window of that building, and inside any vehicle the city owns or operates.

020(C) sets that reasonable distance at a minimum of 20 feet unless the chapter says otherwise. 030(B) requires the city to post signs marking its buildings and vehicles as no-smoking areas. 010 explain that the ban exists because secondhand smoke, including secondhand aerosol from electronic devices, is a material health hazard, particularly for people with cardiovascular disease, asthma or other respiratory conditions, and the chapter's stated purpose extends to protecting residents from nonconsensual secondhand smoke exposure around their own homes. 040 separately declares secondhand smoke a nuisance enforceable as such, including as a private nuisance a resident can sue over directly.
