No, Wisconsin’s indoor vaping laws hinge on the 2010 Smoke-Free Indoor Air Act, which prohibits vaping in enclosed public spaces and workplaces unless exempted. Local jurisdictions like Milwaukee County have expanded restrictions, banning vaping in parks and near school zones. A 2026 state compliance review may tighten enforcement, aligning with FDA’s evolving tobacco regulations.
Key Regulations for Vaping Indoors in Wisconsin
