The Canadian administration updated its Mexico advisory on Jan. 20, stating that the nation has banned smoking in all public places effective January 2023.

Some of the places travelers can no longer smoke in include beaches, parks, hotels, and cafés. If you are caught smoking in public, you may be fined.

The optional also notes that electronic or vaping devices and answers are illegitimate in Mexico. People who are caught with these items may have them removed and may also be fined or detained.

The Canadian government pressures that “penalties for breaking the law in Mexico can be more severe than in Canada, even for similar offences.”

Furthermore, many petty crimes, including public urination, failure to pay a bill, or disorderly behavior, may outcome in a 72-hour detention by police. Tourists may be released early by paying a fine, but it is best to evade this situation.

The new anti-tobacco laws are some of the “severest” in the world, according to the BBC. Smokers may only smoke in their homes or other private places.
