India bans public smoking

JIndia has imposed the world's biggest smoking ban by forbidding its 1.2 billion people from lighting up in public places.

Smoking in the restaurant has just been made illegal in India. In fact, you now face up to two hundred rupee’s fine that’s around four US dollars for lighting up anywhere in public.

India isn’t the first country to ban smocking in public places, but this is the world biggest smoking ban. In the country where a fifth of all death are smoking related, many welcome the new law.

This is a very good step by the government. Smoking is harmful for both active and passive smokers, putting a ban on it was compulsory.

India has 240 million tobacco users. It’s the world’s third largest consumer. This new law means there’s no longer to be allowed to light up in shops, restaurants, in clubs or in schools offices or even bus stops. Some tobacco sellers are angry.

They should ban the manufactory use, if you want people to stop smoking then stop the factories. By banning this, you are ruining our businesses.

India cigarette market is one of the few that is still growing. The country’s top cigarette maker ITC limited is challenging the ban in court. Enforcing the law may also be a problem. Passed /tempt bans bittering urinating in public had a little success. One poor status already express reservations about implementing the ban, compliance rather than the enforcement is likely to be the key to its success.
