No Smoking!

2nd October marked a historic step for India towards a more healthy nation - the Health Ministry put in effect a complete ban on smoking - from bus stops and train stations, to restaurants, pubs and discos, from office complexes to government buildings, smoking is now banned in public places!

Yes, it will take time, and there will be violations, and a stretched police force will not find the time and resources to enforce this completely... but as citizens, we now have a right to complain and do our bit to enforce it...

I am extremely pleased with this. And if it's true that offices can't have Smoking Zones, I am delighted :)

Also like I was saying, having mint after smoking should be made compulsory! I would hate to be trapped in an elevator with someone who has just smoked and not cleared his breath. Again!

Don't you think they should ban the manufacturing of the product itself ?? In our so called male dominated society can a wife complain against her husband for smoking or children against their father ??
