An ad that is circulating now makes the following claim:

“It’s about smoking anywhere in public. Even at restaurants. Nobody wants that. Yeah, can you imagine what our hotels would smell like? That would be awful. Smoking at home is one thing, but not in our bar.”

First Lady Casey DeSantis makes an appearance in the ad while standing at a park with kids swinging in the background, stating:

“What about our playgrounds? Can you imagine bringing your family here just as I bring my family to a park, where there are innocent children and people are smoking marijuana everywhere?”

The issue with the anti-Amendment 3 ad is the language: “Will authorize marijuana smoking in public spaces.”

If you read Amendment 3, you will find that claim is nowhere in the language.

Restaurants, theme parks and any other place of business would not be forced to allow residents to smoke marijuana in their establishments.

Under the Florida State Law, smoking in most public indoor places is already prohibited.

Additionally, Florida law states cities and counties can ban smoking and vaping in public parks and on beaches at the local level.
