日前,佛罗里达州的州参议员乔·格鲁特斯 ( Joe Gruters ) 提出了一项法案并获得通过,法案将允许佛罗里达州的地方政府发布禁令,禁止在海滩和公园抽烟。法案里没有提到雪茄。
乔·格鲁特斯的本意是针对香烟,尤其是烟头。他说,我们年复一年对海滩和公园进行清理和打扫,总是发现最多的东西是香烟头。我们是希望可以自由的抽烟,但是我们也想要安静、平和的享受,而不是把手伸进沙子里去捡别人丢下的烟头。
这个编号为HB-105的法案为地方政府禁止在海滩和公园的各类抽烟行为铺平了道路,2月18日,共和党州议员杰森·布罗德提出修正案,要求可以抽优质雪茄。
这项法案目前正在提交给州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯(Ron DeSantis),他签署后,这项提案将成为法律。
附参考原文:
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.
