Going in April and saw they recently banned smoking in Mexico. I've been trying to cut down leading up to the trip but I think I need a smoke or two!
Anyone there now or know what it's like now? Are cigarettes still sold?

Cigarettes are still sold but if if you have a preference take them with you. They didn’t sell my husbands brand so he packed some.
I was just there 2 weeks ago after the implementation of the mexico smoking ban. They will not let you smoke on the resorts or any parks anymore. You must leave the property (in front of the entrances) in order to smoke now, which is super annoying. They won't kick you out, rather just ask you to put it out, but depends on who you run into. I still decided to smoke as discreetly as possible and overall didn't have a big issue.
were you able to smoke on your balcony discretely? we're travelling there next month and don't want to have to walk a long ways to get to a smoking area.
Yes you can buy cigarettes, they just aren't allowed to be displayed. You can smoke at xcaret in designated areas.
I haven't noticed much of a difference since the law, except for buying them you gotta know what you want as they don't display them.
Keep cutting down though, thats great, just dont do it for México because smoking is not banned here.
Thank you for the info and kind words.
