Bad news for smokers in India. From Oct 2,
public smoking will be banned in hotels, restaurants, and within office premises. The Union Health Ministry annouced today about the ban. To start with, it would be a fine of Rs.200/-. Going forward, it may increase to Rs.1000/-. It will also levy the fine on the restaurants which allow smoking inside the premises.
What's the good news? The good news is just for the non-smokers who are sick and tired of the smokers in their vicinity. To add to the bad news for the smokers, smoking within their home will also soon be banned. The spouse can complain regarding the partner's smoking and s/he will be fined for the same.
Start giving up smoking... It will be easier for Gandhi Jayanti...

the non smokers always have an option of not going out with smokers, they can always increase their life expectancy...
why does he not go and ban selling of local liquor, why does he not go and ban corruption, why does he have to ban smoking... probably because the cigarette industry refused to pay him "haftas"?
I think the main problem with smoking is the "passive smoking hazard". If I person is aware of the health hazards of consuming "local liquor", all he has to do, is not drink. but with smoking, even if he himself doesn't indulge in it, he still gets affected.
Am sure, if a company comes up with a vaccum suit, that one can wear, and which will retain the smoke from one's cigarette, the government might reconsider! ;)
finally... finally.. I am happy, elated, ecsatic ..I am non smoker.. n allergic to nicotine/cigg .. It has not been easy for me..
I really appreciate the effort and the thought put behind this rule... as far as "corruption" n "local liquor" is concerned...
lets start wid dis at least.. n hope that someday.. they can "ban" da rest..
not happening man...
To strictly enforce the workplace smoke-free policy, the Health Ministry plans to slap a penalty of Rs. 5,000 on the organisation whose employees violate the ban on the premises, for the first incident. It would increase to Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 15,000 for the second and third instances, the Minister said.
damn damn damn
This is not going to happen. Why doesn't that Ramadoss ban cigarette sale? Because that gives the government billions in tax. no he wants tax on bidis as well. Fool.
There are more poisonous things that the 'non-smokers' are inhaling. Why not ensure that those things are fixed first. for instance the pollution caused by smoke emitting gas guzzling vehicles.
Jao pehle us gaadi pe ban lagao..uske baad..ushe baad Ramadoss mere chutiye...tum jahan kahoge..main wahi khada ho ke cigarette peeyoonga
