Where can you smoke in Morocco?

In Morocco, you can generally smoke in public places unless there’s a clear sign saying otherwise. In cafés, it’s usually up to the owner to decide whether smoking is allowed. Some cafés are fine with it, while others choose to be smoke-free. It really depends on the place.

If you’re unsure whether smoking is allowed somewhere, it’s best to look for a sign or just ask the staff. In more modern or touristy areas, you’ll notice smoke-free zones are becoming more common, so it can vary depending on where you are.

The most popular cigarette brands in Morocco are Marquise, Gauloises, Camel, and Marlboro. On the street, you can often buy cigarettes individually, and many cafés offer this too. However, in official stores with a Tabac logo, cigarettes are only sold by the pack.

Overall, cigarette prices in Morocco are generally lower than in many European countries. You can buy packs at official Tabac stores, while loose cigarettes are typically available on the street or in cafés.

Cigarette smoking is an addictive habit (Quitting tobacco [Removed Link]) prevalent among both men and women in Morocco. However, it is less common among women, and they generally avoid smoking in public spaces. During Ramadan, smokers of both genders often refrain from smoking in public out of respect for those who are fasting.
