What about cars that release smoke of the noxious variety? This especially so in the diesel powered vehicles that make all staying outdoors exposed to a 20 cigarettes a day equivalent ? Quoting from the note https://www.google.com/amp/s/indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/hardlook-grey-area-delhi-air-pollution-level-winter-health-5433956/lite/ Frequent hospital visits also take a financial toll. “Hospitals are overburdened with patients complaining of breathlessness, sneezing, headaches.

Let Peoples want to do as per their wish. If they want to die , let them die. It is duty of Parents to control their kids. In This MOM & DAD Age , it is hard but not difficult. Other peoples shouldn't care about it & not to write on this petty issues on social media. Govt. Put strict rules that Gutka , smoking can be possible in their homes & not in Public places. spitting after taking Gutkha , should attract heavy penalty like Rs. 5000 + 30 days rigorous punishment for cleaning of dirty walls , street. No exemption to any body on his social, health & other status. No Stay from court is allowed. Govt. will earn handsome money from these peoples. Wine , tobaccos , Gutkha , Cigrette , wine shouldn't be banned as it increases corruption. more

New Zealand's population is just 5 million, and the Maori's are circumspect implementing the law. Quoting the relevant news note, https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/new-zealand-plans-lifetime-ban-cigarette-sales-stamp-out-smoking-2021-12-09/, "Currently, 11.6% of all New Zealanders aged over 15 smoke, a proportion that rises to 29% among indigenous Maori adults, according to government figures. The government will consult with a Maori health task force in the coming months before introducing legislation into parliament in June next year, with the aim of making it law by the end of 2022." more
