As several nations gradually ease lockdown measures in order to get their economy back on its feet amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Las Vegas too has opened its doors to tourists.

While people visiting the city in Nevada, which is primarily known for its gambling, shopping and fine dining, are expected to follow all the precautionary measures as is becoming the norm in a post-Covid world, a video of a man smoking while wearing a mask has left netizens in splits.

In the clip, which has now gone viral with over 3.5 million views, a man is seen sitting in front of a slot machine while wearing a mask. However, moments later he lights up a cigarette and starts smoking while wearing the mask and only lowers it to blow out the smoke.
