PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — It could soon be against the law to smoke cigarettes on Pinellas County beaches. The Pinellas County Commission on Thursday began discussions on what an ordinance change would look like for the county's three beaches: Fort DeSoto, Sand Key and Fred Howard. If enacted, the ban would only be in the bounds of the beaches, not adjacent parking lots. Local municipalities can now move forward with their own smoking fans after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the "Florida Clean Air Act" into law earlier this year.
