can you smoke in the bars in Florida?

no.
florida has a no smoking in public buildings/workplaces law now. its called the florida indoor clean air act. you cannot even smoke in a hotel room anymore. and there is no "smoking section" in restaurants anymore.
and typically no you cannot bring your drink outside at bars.
why not finish your drink then go outside for a smoke and then go back in and get another drink?
(i live in the buffalo/niagara falls ny area and we have the same law some bars do ignore it sometimes get caught and are fined but most places don't risk it. i always remember we'd always ask for a non smoking room or the non smoking section at a restaurant and now when i travel somewhere i forget i need to ask and then all of the sudden i get a big wwhiffof smoke and i realize they don't have the same law as ny. it seemed so weird when i went to the seneca niagara casino in niagara falls to spend the night during the middle of winter to enjoy the pool and as soon as i walked in i was knocked down by smoke. i thought OMG everyone is smoking and then i realized that since it was native american owned property it was ok lol)

It depends on the bars licenses, if they serve more food then booze, no. Sought of, 60%-40%, situation. Hotels, restaurants, tourist areas, no. just ask first, make your life easier. Have a good time.

Florida Smoking Ban

I'm waiting for more opinions before I post my opinion

Interesting question

Independent bars will allow smoking if they do not serve food. But like said above if food is sold less that drink you'll be able to smoke. Florida law is more relaxed than most other states but the chain places don't allow smoking.

No you can not smoke inside a bar. And they are not going to allow you to take one of their glasses outside
