As more countries have clamped down on smoking in recent years, Indians have freely puffed away at playgrounds, railway stations, sidewalk cafes and even hospitals. No more, and a violator will get a $5 fine.
For years, anti-smoking laws in this nation of nearly 1.2 billion people have been widely ignored. And tobacco companies have fought the government to keep warnings off boxes.

Smoking must be banned in all public indoor places. A nonsmoker should be able to enjoy a lunch in a restaurant or drink at the Mamak’s Stall without having to inhale these toxins from a cigarette. Besides that, all parks, sports stadiums, and other outdoor recreational areas should either be nonsmoking or have only a select few designated areas for smoking.
Many people believe that restaurants have smoking and nonsmoking areas is the good enough. I believe that this is not enough because even the restaurants have a smoking and nonsmoking areas, its still have smoke in both areas. It’s because half is smoking and the other half is not, the smoke still circulates through the air. Even though there are vents that are supposed to suck up the smoke, there is still smoke going into the lungs of nonsmokers and it is killing our life.
