Starting New Year's Day, you can still wear bikinis on the beaches of Miami Beach, but forget about showing any butts — cigarette butts, that is.
People walk past a light sculpture titled Patria y Vida created by Cuban-American artists Ruben Millares and Antonia Wright, during Miami Art Week, Thursday, Dec. 1, 2022, in Miami Beach, Fla. The sculpture is named for the anti-communism protests in Cuba. It is meant to celebrate people's right to protest, using the barricades as a symbol of global resistance.
A smoking ban is being implemented Sunday after the stroke of midnight at all Miami Beach municipal parks and public beaches. Under the new measure, a person can be fined $100 and spend up to 60 days in jail for a first-time violation. “This paradise is an important economic engine,” Fernandez said in a statement. “Cigarette butts are not the butts our 18 million visitors want to see. This new law will help keep our paradise clean and beautiful.”
