Tobacco substitute is becoming more popular in Germany. Even so, there still seems to be some uncertainty among users. Questions such as Is tobacco substitute harmful? or Is tobacco substitute 18+? come up again and again.
Tobacco substitute is legal in Germany and can therefore also be bought by people under 18. It is made from herbal blends. Tobacco substitute and health, however, is a different topic.
