How to Find Smoking Areas for Heated Tobacco and E-Cigarettes
Table of contents
Because heated tobacco and e-cigarettes produce far less smoke than regular cigarettes, more facilities now provide dedicated areas just for them. This guide explains how to use Mottosuitai to find heated tobacco and e-cigarette friendly smoking spots quickly.
Use the Tobacco-Type Filter
Mottosuitai's map filters tobacco areas into four categories: cigarettes, heated/electronic, shisha/vape, and other. Selecting heated/electronic shows only places where IQOS, glo, Ploom, and similar devices are allowed.
What Makes Heated-Tobacco Rooms Different
- Eating and drinking are allowed (unlike rooms for cigarettes)
- Visitors under 20 are not permitted
- Look for signage that says "Heated Tobacco Only" or 加熱式タバコ専用
- Common in train stations, large shopping complexes, and office buildings
Tips When Searching
- Start with smoking areas within 2 km of your location
- Set the tobacco-type filter to heated/electronic
- Save reliable spots to your favorites
- Submit a pin when you discover a new one
Summary
Heated tobacco and e-cigarette areas are expanding every year, but coverage still varies by region. Mottosuitai grows through user-submitted pins, so please share spots you discover.
