Hathifushi people now live in the island of Hanimaadhoo in Haa Dhaalu atoll. Before the relocation, Hathifushi was one of the non-smoking islands of the Maldives with the island chief levying a fine of Rf5,000 (approx. US$400) on any person if proven to commit an act of smoking. The other non-smoking islands of Maldives are Berinmadhoo, Nolhivaranfaru, and Madifushi.
