Stay home
The cigarrete smell will be the least of your problems…😉🤦🏻♂️
I’m allergic to smoke and in Hanoi now. Brought masks in case I have a problem but have been surprised that it doesn’t seem that bad (small areas we walk by where men are sitting smoking but not hard to get through).
Stay home,
It’s part of the culture, get over it
Put it this way, its like saying, “How’s Vegas, do they gamble there?”
Ur in Vietnam they smoke
With the air quality in Hanoi the way it is right now I think cigarettes will be the least of your problems! 🫣
More and more restaurants are non smoking inside but most men smoke in Vietnam. If you can’t tolerate cigarette smoke, then Vietnam (and Asia in general) is probably not for you.
It’s present but manageable – not as bad as some make it sound.
