What is Yanyou?
An app for smokers 20+ in Taiwan: find legal smoking areas nearby, and meet someone in an anonymous 5-minute voice call. We don't sell or promote tobacco.
Does Yanyou encourage smoking?
No. It helps adults who already smoke follow the law: find a designated area and smoke there, away from non-smokers. Nothing rewards smoking more, and we don't sell or promote tobacco. Want to quit? Call the quitline 0800-636-363 (toll-free).
I want to quit. Can Yanyou help?
Turn on Quit mode to count your smoke-free days and unlock wardrobe items at milestones. Yanyou stops reminding you about nearby smoking areas, though the map still works. Your profile shows “Quitting · day N” publicly by default; you can turn it off in Settings › Privacy. Subscribers can choose to match only with people who are quitting. When a craving hits, open “Beat the craving” for a 1–3 minute breathing exercise with Mist. It's not medical treatment; for help quitting, call the quitline 0800-636-363 (toll-free).
Where does the smoking-area data come from?
262 official spots (Taipei City Department of Health open data), 15 venues (Taichung City Public Health Bureau register) and 37 public areas mapped on OpenStreetMap (ODbL). 120 smoking rooms inside venues are counted separately (venue rules apply). Every spot shows its source. Abroad: Japan 301, South Korea 122, Singapore 70, Thailand 28, Malaysia 15, Vietnam 5 smoking areas from OpenStreetMap (ODbL); Singapore also includes NEA designated smoking areas (data.gov.sg). Rules differ by country; follow local rules.
Are the locations accurate?
For reference only — follow on-site signs. Government data can lag, register pins mark the venue rather than the room, and OpenStreetMap is volunteer-mapped and unverified.
