Smoking Ban
Summary
St. Augustine Beach just banned smoking and vaping at its beaches and parks, so you’ll need to leave the vape or cigarettes at home. It’s part of a broader push by Florida coastal towns to clean up public spaces. If you use those areas, the rule changes what you can do outdoors—and it’s aimed at less litter and cleaner air.

Impact analysis
Your wallet probably won’t feel it directly, but the city may save a little on cleanup while spending some on signs and enforcement.
Beachgoers, families, non-smokers, wildlife, and cleanup crews all get cleaner air and less cigarette-butt litter.
Smokers and vapers who liked lighting up at the beach or park lose that convenience, but no major group is clearly hurt.
