Most of those complaints, nearly 575, involve violations at restaurants.
The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation says it's sending out law enforcement agents to investigate every complaint.
The American Lung Association says it has reports of some businesses trying to skirt the law, but a state spokesman believes most businesses are trying to cooperate.
