Legal smoking areas on one map: official Taipei data synced weekly, plus OpenStreetMap and user reports elsewhere, and travel mode. Quit mode and breathing help. 20+.
Yanyou helps adult smokers aged 20+ do two things: smoke only in legal, government-designated smoking areas instead of on the street, and quit when they are ready.
In Taiwan, smoking in non-smoking places can get you fined and exposes others to secondhand smoke. Yanyou puts legal smoking areas on one map, and gives you tools for quitting.
LEGAL SMOKING-AREA MAP
- Areas published by government agencies are marked "Official". Turn on the "Official only" filter to see only those (in Taiwan, currently Taipei; elsewhere OpenStreetMap and user reports)
- Official data syncs weekly; areas the government removes disappear
- OpenStreetMap and user reports are marked "Unverified"; user reports are reviewed first
- In-store smoking rooms: name and location only, not ads
- Photos, reviews and walking directions, with distance on the Dynamic Island
- Travel mode: major cities in Japan (with official Osaka and Tokyo data), Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia, with local rules
QUIT MODE (ON THE MIST TAB)
- Count your smoke-free days, best streak and milestones. Milestones unlock outfits for your Mist companion: the app rewards days without smoking
- While quit mode is on, the app stops pointing you to nearby smoking areas
- "I had one": no blame, just start again today; your best streak stays
- Craving? Breathe slowly with Mist for 1 to 3 minutes, with gentle haptic cues
- One tap to call Taiwan's free Quitline 0800-636-363, plus the Health Promotion Administration's quit resources
- Optionally show "Quitting · day N" on your profile so friends can cheer you on
MIST COMPANIONS, LEVELS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
- People see your Mist companion; your photos stay hidden until you agree
- 33 companions and 100+ outfit items and pets to dress up or give to friends
- XP comes from helping the map (adding or confirming spots, adding photos), from social activity and from quit milestones. Smoking, or smoking more, never earns anything
SOCIAL FEATURES
- Chats: direct messages and circles (all-Taiwan, quit, regional and smoking-area), with Mist stickers
- Hellos: a chat opens only when the other person accepts; you choose who can say hello
- Questions: ask and answer to get to know people
- Random voice calls: 10 PM to midnight (Taiwan time); voice only, never recorded, no names or photos during the call. Got along? If you both tap Talk again, you become friends
- 15 free call minutes a day, shared by random and friend calls, by the second, refilled at 12:00 noon Taiwan time; then call minutes. The Calls tab shows what is left
- Invite friends: a friend who signs up with your invite code gets 60 minutes; once they have used the app on 3 days, you get 60 too. Invite minutes never expire; 3 invites per code
SAFETY AND PRIVACY
- Adults 20+ only; sign in with Apple or an email code
- Report and block everywhere, reviewed by our team; contact details masked and objectionable words filtered
- Check-ins are private by default; location data is removed from uploaded photos
- No ads and no ad tracking; delete your account in the app
