No Smoking Bord In Himalaya - Sikkim
A 'No Smoking' sign is displayed by the Indian Army in Phadamchen, Sikkim, India, on April 17, 2026. Smoking is increasingly prohibited in the Himalayas due to health risks at high altitudes, environmental protection, and local regulations. It is banned in public spaces like Sikkim to prevent reduced oxygen intake, which can increase the risk of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) and lower oxygen concentration in the blood, potentially leading to life-threatening conditions. Smoking also reduces lung capacity, which is essential for trekking and climbing, and is part of efforts to maintain a clean and fragile ecosystem. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
