This popular Florida beach destination just banned this common practice. Here’s what’ll happen if you get caught

If you were hoping to kick back on Jacksonville’s beaches with a cigarette or vape, you’ll have to find another spot.

The Jacksonville, Florida, City Council has officially banned smoking and vaping on all public beaches. They are citing concerns about health risks and the impact of secondhand smoke.

The new amendment spells it out clearly. “Smoking” now includes everything from cigarettes and cigars to vape pens and e-cigarettes. Even pipe tobacco and unfiltered cigars are on the list.
