Poof! Off goes the light at the end of your cigarette. Yes, the smoking ban has arrived!! The papers have been following this story for the last 10 days with the implementation finally happening all over India last Thursday.So, is this good or bad? From a non-smoker’s point of view – it ROCKS!! But from the smoker’s point of view – it SUCKS! :-) There have been varied reactions to this ban, some have supported it blindly, some have supported it in a 50-50 way and some have ridiculed it. My reaction? Well, I think I fall in the middle reaction bracket ;-) I support it in principle as I feel that the ban will help people like me getting saved from being passive smokers.
I wonder how it will be to step into a pub or a disco where I can actually "see" the people around me without a smoky halo around them! Or sit in a restaurant without coughing on the cigarette smoke from a nearby table... Though to be fair to all my smoker friends there should be a little more places where they could light up and enjoy their 5 minutes of nicotine fix :-)
Cheers to the Government for this initiative!
