🚭 Smoking and City Cleanliness – Strict Enforcement and Real Fines
Littering the streets of Baku is prohibited, especially cigarette butts:
* 🚫 Throwing a cigarette butt on the ground – a fine of up to 300 AZN
* 🚫 Smoking while walking in public places can result in an administrative fine
That’s why it’s virtually impossible to see litter or cigarette butts on the sidewalks in central Baku – order is maintained at a high level.
👉 Tourists are advised to:
* use trash cans,
* smoke only in designated areas.
📹 Recently, a well-known Turkish blogger published a video report about Baku, noting the high level of street cleanliness.
