|It is illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone under the age of 20. In 2010, the Volksforum passed a law that imposed a 5% additional Tobacco Tax on Tobacco and it's derivative products, discouraging smoking over the years since it's implementation. There's a movement in Eldmora to raise the minimum age to 25, an even smaller movement exists to ban smoking out right in both Eldmora and Regulus. Many schools, university campuses, hospitals, and sport venues have banned smoking on their premises in Eldmora. | |It is illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone under the age of 20.

|Tobacco smoking is taboo in Hendalarskara society, viewed as a ''Gesellschaftsschade'' ("societal harm") that is disparaged because of the long-term risk it poses to others. This view holds even in the [[Pentapolis]], one of the few areas where mainland and Serstädtsch mores align, although the behaviour is begrudgingly tolerated among tourists in the Cities. It is therefore only legal for those 18 and over to purchase tobacco products. Hendalarsk's many smokeable indigenous plants can also only be purchased by adults (although anyone may forage them for non-commercial use), although the restriction is in this case a positive cultural one since smoking indigenous plants is traditionally treated as a rite of passage in one's coming-of-age ceremony. | |||
