A very good move, let's see how succesfully they can drive it.
It doesn't make any sense that you smoke and others(passive) gets cancer

Heh, it earns them taxes. If the government was concerned about people's health they could have started with paan masala, chewing tabacco etc etc.
That's just it. If it is indeed harmful to people, just ban the whole thing. If people chewing tobacco are killing themselves, but not harming others, doesn't it relate to suicide(extreme, I know) just like passive smoking is tantamount to murder?hammerhead said:
Perfect example of impractical laws.
Good News .... its very irritating for me when someone blows smokes on my face/near me in public places.
Cigs ads were banned long ago. And may be the reason government isn't banning the manufacturing of cigs is because it will bring loss to the country. many companies export the cigs. Also many people might lose their job. Could be many other reasons. Not to forget the public also won't be happy if they won't get cigs at retail.
But this is a welcome move indeed.

Even though I'm a smoker, I understand that smoking in public places is not good personal etiquette. You have no right to spoil health of your fellow non-smoking crowd.
BUT... serisouly. Ban in pubs? Hotels, where there is dedicated area for smokers? Office (in last two offices I had worked, both had smoking zone only for smokers)?
Government has all rights to care for health of public but this is too much. If they are so damn fu**in serious, then ban Tobacco manufacturing altogether, cut the roots than branches. This is all double-talk bullcrap, they want all the damn revenue they get from Tobacco products, and then don't want people to consume it?
