No Smoking law in India

Government of India is passing a new no-smoking law indoors from Oct 2nd. This law is to prevent air pollution and health problems.
According to the Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss “smoking will not be permitted in any private or public building. Companies can no longer have designated smoking rooms. Smokers will have to step outside into open space if they wish to smoke. 40 % of India’s health problems are linked to smoking.”
Fine will be from Rs 200 to Rs 1000 and employers will be fined Rs. 5000
