Overview

Smoke World in Venice operates as a specialty shop licensed by FDACS. The facility has not yet obtained a valid food permit and remains operating without one as of August 20, 2025. Two inspections on record, both completed on July 31 and August 20, 2025, identified permit and sanitation compliance gaps. The July 31 inspection cited six violations, including two priority-level findings: no approved documentation for drinking water source and no approved sewage disposal facility documentation. The facility was given 30 days from that inspection to submit required documentation, with a reinspection to be scheduled if the documentation is not received. Additional violations included lack of a covered sanitary napkin receptacle in the female restroom and absence of written vomit and diarrhea cleanup procedures. The August 20 follow-up inspection noted that the facility had met the sanitation inspection requirement as part of the permit application process, though one violation remained cited for operating without a valid food permit.
