Ikärajatans
Ikärajatans is a term used in Finland to refer to age restrictions for certain activities, particularly concerning the sale of alcohol and tobacco. These regulations are established by law and are designed to protect minors from the harmful effects of these substances. The most common age limits in Finland are 18 for purchasing alcohol and tobacco, and 20 for purchasing stronger alcoholic beverages.
These age limits are enforced by retailers, who are legally obligated to verify the age of purchasers.
The concept of age limits extends beyond just alcohol and tobacco. Similar restrictions may apply to entry
