Details are sketchy at the moment, the email I got on my phone didn't come through correctly, but Corona Cigars are saying that Mayor Crotty (sp) has issued an outdoor smoking ban on all county property, including streets etc. I will post up the email when I get home
Orange County, Florida:
Mayor Crotty Bans Use of Tobacco Products
Effective January 1, 2010, the use of tobacco products (including: cigars, pipes, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, snuff, snus, and hookahs) on all county owned and leased land was outlawed through an order signed by Orange County's Mayor Richard T. Crotty as he and a coalition of anti-tobacco supporters work to make the entire county tobacco-free.
This OUTDOOR ban comes on the heels of Florida's statewide existing indoor smoking ban which is already in affect.
Several major cities, including Orlando, reside in Orange County and the local economy heavily relies on tourism.
The ordinance now outlaws the use of any tobacco product in areas such as outdoors at the Orange County Convention Center, County parks, fishing docks, boat ramps, outdoor trails, county owned parking lots, streets and sidewalks.
Additionally, in order to maintain employment, County employees are required to sign an affidavit which states that any employee who enjoys more than four cigars per year they will be fined $650 each year they violate the tobacco policy.
On March 19, 2010, Mayor Crotty's anti-tobacco campaign received a boost when he allocated $6.6 million in federal stimulus funds (supposed to be used to create jobs) to the Orange County Health Department to prevent tobacco usage.
Please Contact These Orange County Lawmakers:
CRA is urging members in Florida and across the country to take action by contacting Mayor Richard T. Crotty and the county commissioners to express your opposition to this tobacco policy and your support of seeing the ordinance reversed.
Remember to tell these lawmakers that "enjoying a cigar is not a crime!"

Well they can KAMA in Disney's Magic Kingdom . When I was there last they had areas to smoke in and again KMA lily white ass. I burned and walked and no one said anything. However while outside the gate a women asked me to put out my cigar and I told her sure thing ,Ya got $5 for the cost? Made her quiet quick.
question though does this law apply to florida as a whole just my father has a holiday condo in florida on madeira beach and will be seriously pissed if he cant smoke there, not least myself as we planning on taking a long holiday there early next year
I say the smokers of the world unite ! And tell all the Nazi M F to smoke this
(Big Penis of Ours swinging in the free air) First smoking then anything they feel like.
The new world order isn't far off .
