Some places that appear in the layout are restaurants, bars, offices, beaches, amusement parks, shopping malls, stadiums and in common use, to name a few.

If penalized, the MORE for violating this provision published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) since January 15, it can range from 20,000 pesos to just over two million pesos, or those involved can be arrested for up to 36 hours. The time would be determined in accordance with what is stipulated in Article 427 of the General Health Law.

Like Ferreti, this name has left many unknowns in the air among users who consume tobacco, because if the establishments and centers in which the use of nicotine remains strictly known, the places designated for this purpose are still poorly known to smokers in places like the Aztec Stadium.
