The Damanhur Constitution prohibits smoking on all Damanhur territories, even in outdoor spaces.
This rule came into act in 1975 when the founders chose not to smoke as an exercise in discipline and respect not only for themselves, but also for others and the environment, especially plants and Nature Spirits. The No-Smoking rule applies to everyone, including guests, throughout Damanhur.
