Smoking: YOUR Nations Stance

[SlavicRepublics]

smoking in the FSR is illegal for the average citizen. Anyone caught with cigarettes or any other types of drugs (ie marijunana) shall be jailed or thrown into a gulag. Although members of the government and the communist party can afford, buy and use imported cigarettes. Booze is legal though

[The Merchant Republics]

Smoking is a rather popular affair in the Republics especially among men. Though smoking to excess is considered dirty and a sign of poor judgment.

Smoking is legal in all public and private places unless otherwise posted by whomever owns the property. Hospitals and schools generally do not allow smoking.

[Misthurst]

Smoking is illegal. Anyone found smoking in the Kingdom of Mikhalovich will be executed. Probably burned to death. Poetic Justice.

Barbarians are out in force today, it seems. We're adding you to the list as well. We don't kill people for idle passtimes.

Now there is a proper, reasonable stance on the issue.

[Thullia]

Smoking is legal , and we don't know cigarettes, only cigars. But it can be only praciticed in the designated areas(streets, parks, smoking parts of restaurants, schools, and parliament).

[Wolferian]

Smoking anything is illegal and the penalty is death or gladiator fights.

[Fatatatutti]

What problem do your people have with chewing gum, exactly?

Chewing gum is a much filthier habit than smoking. The Bureau of Suspicious Statistics (BOSS) has determined that 105% of the worldwide production of chewing gum winds up on the floor or stuck to the bottom of tables. (Bear in mind that most Fatatatutians go barefoot most of the time.)

[Sibirsky]

The government does not have a stance on smoking. Smoking is banned in the Federal building, but is allowed in designated areas outside of the Federal building. Businesses are free to enact their own smoking policies.

[The Grand Millian]

The United Imperial Government doesn't care, you can do what you want not our problem.

[Pottslande]

Pottslandians have never heard of tobacco, and as a result have never tried it. However, they have weed, which is freely smoked by 98% of the population.

[Frenequesta]

Although the regulation of smoking is left to the states, all states in Frenequesta have banned smoking in public places and places of business, with the exception of smoking bars. Smoking is not all that popular anyway, no less because 1) tobacco hasn't been able to grow in Frenequestan soil and 2) many find it disgusting and are aware of second-hand health effects.

[Arkinesia]

Smoking is not permitted indoors in public property or private property unless the owner chooses otherwise. Smoking is allowed outdoors as long as it is not near any doors or other entry points (i.e. air-con vents).

[Thurask]

Smoking is illegal under 16 and in a hospital, but other than that the act of smoking is not regulated. In fact, every single MP in Parliament appears to be a smoker, as shown through the thick cloud of smoke that seeps out from under the great oaken doors leading to the chamber whenever it's in session.

[Voerdeland]

Popular and legal, but discouraged by the government

[RobCo Industries]

It is legalized and taxed by the government, which is a modest tax but still a large money maker. However, in public buildings it is banned to smoke within them, and must be in an outside area. In private businesses (such as restaurants), it is standard, and law, to have a separate area with stronger then normal ventilation to pump the smoke away from the non-smokers.

The age for which to buy and use is 18.

[The Kangaroo Republic]

The laws regarding smoking/overall usage of drugs vary from district to district, some districts have laws only for soft drugs and hard drugs and do not have separate laws for tobacco (in which case, tobacco is regarded as a soft drug)
Smoking tobacco is legal from the age of 16 in Maz Roxez District, Menzbør District, Wud District, Prere District and Meztaukar District.
18 in Inbruk District and Kirkazgibote District.
And it is illegal in Menzbør district
Using soft drugs is legal from the age of 16 in Maz Roxez District.
18 in Menzbør District, Wud District, Prere District, Riviruz District and Kirkazgibote District.
And it is illegal in Meztaukar District and Inbruk District.
Using hard drugs is illegal in all districts.

[The Kangaroo Republic]

Most if not all Nicksyllvanian men (and many boys as well) are chainsmokers. Although Snuff is more popular among the gentry when in the presence of a lady, and chewing tobacco popular among proles and sailors.

Tobacco has many health benefits and is supported by the government

True, tobacco has a few health benefits, it reduces the risk of Ulcerative colitis. But do you not think that the harmful effects clearly outweigh the benefits?

[Loonaterian]

Smoking anything is illegal

[ArghNeedAName]

Smoking is declining, although thousands of young people continue take it up each year. The Federal Government discourages smoking, places large taxes on tobacco and does not allow it inside Federal buildings. The rest is left up to States.

Five years ago, Helitia passed a ban on smoking in public places except for those designated by the local council, igniting a serious debate. Since then, Quirmia and Latatia have done the same, and similar proposals have been introduced in other state legislatures. The Kixas General Assembly recently passed a similar piece of legislation last month and it is expected to be introduced in the Kixas Senate in the coming weeks.

[Belesyia]

Smoking is not very popular in Belesyia, mostly due to the unpleasantness in a hot climate. Hookah and e-cigarettes are much more popular.

That said, there are no official policies about smoking. Government buildings have "smoke-free" areas, and businesses are free to make their own policies.

[Neiao]

in my nation smoking is allowed only in the citizens homes. cigarettes are the only thing allowed.

[Sucrati]

Legal in Designated Zones (while in public) but legal on the people's own property.

[Dirrk]

Ciggs, cigars, and pot are heavily taxed and illegal to be sold to those under age 18.

Smoking is banned on school grounds and places such as supermarkets where children frequent. Public parks have designated smoking areas. Smoking in private property such as bars and the like (ignore what it says about private commerce being illegal; it is legal, but with heavy anti-trust laws in place) is left to the discretion of the owner.

[Great Nepal]

Government is officially neutral in terms of smoking however no one actually smokes for quite a few reasons:-
1. It is frowned upon as it is seen as slow suicide done by very selfish person.
