日前，佛羅里達州的州參議員喬·格魯特斯 （ Joe Gruters ) 提出了一項法案并獲得通過，法案將允許佛羅里達州的地方政府發布禁令，禁止在海灘和公園抽煙。法案里沒有提到雪茄。

喬·格魯特斯的本意是針對香煙，尤其是煙頭。他說，我們年復一年對海灘和公園進行清理和打掃，總是發現最多的東西是香煙頭。我們是希望可以自由的抽煙，但是我們也想要安靜、平和的享受，而不是把手伸進沙子里去撿別人丟下的煙頭。

這個編號為HB-105的法案為地方政府禁止在海灘和公園的各類抽煙行為鋪平了道路，2月18日，共和黨州議員杰森·布羅德提出修正案，要求可以抽優質雪茄。

這項法案目前正在提交給州長羅恩·德桑蒂斯（Ron DeSantis），他簽署后，這項提案將成為法律。

附參考原文：

The Florida Legislature has passed a new bill that would allow local governments in the Sunshine State to ban smoking on beaches and parks, but the bill is missing one element that it had in its original form—a cigar ban.

Originally, HB-105 would have paved the way for local governments to ban all kinds of smoking on beaches and parks, should they so desire, but on February 18 an amendment was added allowing for the puffing of premium cigars, specifically stating that it does not apply “to the smoking of unfiltered cigars.”

The amendment for cigars was made at the behest of Republican State Senator Jason Brodeur.

State Senator Joe Gruters (R-Sarasota) created the bill, and his plan was not to go after cigars, but cigarettes, particularly their butts. “All these cleanup days that we do, year after year, the No. 1 item that’s always found are the cigarette butts,” he said during a press conference from a Sarasota beach in January. “I always say we want freedom, but at the same time, we want quiet, peaceful enjoyment without putting your hands in your sand and picking up someone’s cigarette butts.”?

The bill is now on its way to Governor Ron DeSantis, who could sign it into law.
