List updated: November 2025
One of my biggest fears of moving back to Jordan was the amount of second-hand (and third-hand) smoke I would be exposing myself and my children to. When I first lived in Jordan in 2017, cigarettes were absolutely everywhere, but now that vapes and e-cigarettes are growing in popularity, it seems you really can’t escape smoking. I’ve even recently started to think about taking pictures of all the people I see vaping in front of NO SMOKING signs (most recent infractions at a local school, The Children’s Museum, and IKEA). I know I can’t change this country (apparently it has the highest rate of smokers in the entire world), so while I wait for the government to finally move into the 21st century and crack down on it, I have gone through an invaluable Instagram account by Ruba Madadha @smokefree_places_jo and compiled her valuable suggestions of places that don’t allow smoking of any kind indoors.
Fun Fact: It is completely illegal to smoke indoors in Jordan! That includes inside restaurants!
Tip: If you want to see more places adopt strict no-smoking policies indoors (and outdoors, please!), leave them feedback on their Google Business reviews page, TripAdvisor, and on social media. You can also download the Bkhmtkm government app to report violations.

Thank you Chelsea! This was really helpful. The smoking issue in Jordan is really irritating, and unfortunately the country seems to be not so very helpful with preventing smoking indoors. I struggle to find non-smoking restaurants, especially when my baby is joining. I’ve been deceived many times after making phone calls with restaurants who would claim they had non-smoking sections and were are completely separated. Eventually they are all open spaces where smoker would be a wall or a few seats away.

Hi Rand. Thanks for the comment! I definitely agree Jordan needs to get up to speed with not allowing smoking indoors! It cracks me up that they have smoking and “non-smoking” sections under one roof. As if smoke is a solid that won’t spread to the other section… I really hope I can add more places to the list ASAP!

Hi Chelsea!
Great list! Could we please add Sushi Den , Wadi Sqra Street, Trattoria Italian at the Qasr Hotel and La Terrazzo, Italian at the Marriott Hotel!
There is also Strada Cafe at the first circle and I heard the Wayne coffee after being smoke infested has become smoke free. Magnolia cafe is also a smoke free bakery.
It is great that the choices are increasing, yet there isn’t a single Arabic food restaurant that isn’t smoke infested, sad reality
I believe non smokers, even smokers with children should exert more pressure on the restaurants to implement the smoke free law! Why is it the trend that if 10 people go out, one of them being a smoker, in general, the needs of the smoker are catered for while putting everyone s health at risk!
Keep the list growing!
