Border control
tobacco
Many countries restrict the amount of cigarettes or tobacco that can enter the country. In many countries, the tax rates on tobacco products are very heavy, so passengers importing several packages of these products are required to pay import taxes. On the other hand, many countries’ borders also have corresponding facilities, and when they leave the country, leaving travelers are allowed to buy these same products.duty free。
The price of tobacco products varies greatly around the world, mainly because different countries/regions impose different taxes on them. For example, the price of a pack of Marlboro (converted to U.S. dollars) isthe PhilippinesIs around $1.50 (they are very common there and are partially licensed), and theCanadaIt starts at $10 (where they are imported luxury goods, which must first be fulfilled and then taxed). It is common for smokers to visit countries where smoking costs are low, and even non-smokers can buy cheap cigarettes there as gifts.

A box of 200 cigarettes is generally allowed (other products may be added in some places, such as cigars), provided that you are not in this country for at least a few days. Some places are more strict, for example,HongkongOnly 19 cigarettes are allowed, obviously because the government wants to protect its taxes. This restriction is mainly to avoidChinaBring in cheap cigarettes, and law enforcement is concentrated on Chinese tourists; but travelers from other places rarely suffer such troubles.

Heavy smoking
existAsia,especially inChinaAt least for men, smoking is still a social activity. Anyone will provide fireworks to others, which can also be a status symbol. Female smokers may find it strange: There are more smokers in Asia than men in Western countries, but fewer women smoke. Restaurants usually don’t have non-smoking areas; many people don’t have ashtrays either. Areas such as bus stations may have "no smoking" signs, but these signs are often ignored. Non-smokers should be prepared to endure the smoky room. But even in China, this situation is slowly changing. Many restaurants now ban smoking, at least in major cities.
Smoking inEurope，AfricaThe most common in the southeastern part of the mainland:Bosnia and Herzegovina、Serbia、Croatia、Montenegro、Albania、Macedonia、GreecewithTurkey. The level of anti-smoking enforcement in these countries is also low, especially Bosnia and Herzegovina, so they are prepared to deal with smoke-filled public places.
Tobacco products around the world

Although tobacco is now grown all over the world, tobacco production is particularly high in the Caribbean and the southern United States. In some regions, tobacco or related products are usually purchased by tourists; two well-known examples are in TurkeyEskisehirorIstanbulPicked up from the source on the marketHavana CigarwithSepiolite tube。
The cost of smoking products and available brands vary greatly from place to place, partly because of the huge differences in taxation and import rules. Some brands, such as Marlborough in the United States or 555 in the United Kingdom, are quite common, but in many countries, these expensive imported goods and all cheap tobacco will be brands that travelers will not recognize. In some places, the taste of local products may also be different; for example, popularFranceThe brands Gitane and Galois are far stronger than the smoking habits of most travelers.
Some countries have special tobacco products. India has small and cheap cone-shaped things called beedies, which are mainly used for smoking for those who cannot afford cigarettes. Indonesia has clove cigarettes called rokok kretek.
Smoker travel
Tobacco is highly addictive-which is why it is profitable for companies and governments-when drug addicts are deprived of drugs, drug addicts can become quite uncomfortable. Especially long voyages can frustrate heavy smokers, especially since smoking is not allowed in most areas of most airports. Smoking is not allowed on China's high-speed rail, and if such a situation is discovered, they will stop immediately and be fined. Those who do not change will even be banned from riding the high-speed rail. The withdrawal symptoms are very real, reflecting that the addiction is caused by themselves. It will make the situation worse.
Many travel smokers can only choose to endure this or want to sleep. Some people may use tranquilizers or large amounts of alcohol, which may help some people, but it is not recommended because these substances also have their own dangers—in fact, mixing alcohol and tranquilizers can be fatal—and be stoned or Hanging up is a very bad idea when trying to deal with border controls at the destination.
A better solution is to treat long-haul flights as an opportunity to quit smoking.If you can resist the urge to ignite at the moment that becomes possible when you arrive-instead of going shopping, sightseeing or partying, or just falling down and sleeping within jet lag, then you can quit smoking well. The first few days are the worst, because a flight allows you to get through the day without any willpower (no motivation?). You can consider going to rest on your own.
Whether you quit smoking or not, chewing gum with nicotine is a good idea if you fly for a long time. Large numbers of smokers who travel frequently should leave these items permanently in their favorite hand luggage. The sale of chewing gum is mainly used as an aid to quit smoking to reduce the nicotine addiction of new non-smokers. However, it can also be used by unrepentant addicts to handle long-distance flights. Chewing any gum can also reduce ear problems caused by pressure changes during flight. Other products such as nicotine patches are another option.
There is a way to safely get rid of tree stumps without littering. There may be ashtrays here and there, but there is almost no place where you want to light a cigarette. A small box with a tight lid can be used as a portable ashtray.
