Smoking has been banned in all public buildings, stores, arenas, bars, restaurants, etc in Hawaii and several other states. The restaurant and bar owners complained loudly that it would ruin their businesses. That has not happened. There is also no smoking within a set distance from building entrances, bus stops, etc. You could circulate a petition to your state representatives to pass such a state law in Florida. In my opinion, it is only a matter of time before all states join the ban. I do not dislike smokers but I do object to seeing butts all over the roads and paths.
