Find a place to smoke.

Mexico restricts smoking in most indoor public places and many public outdoor areas, including hospitality settings. A terrace is not automatically a permitted smoking area.

Certain designated open-air smoking spaces may be permitted subject to applicable rules. A Supreme Court decision concerning particular regulatory restrictions does not make all bar terraces or rooftops smoking-permitted; check the specific venue.
