Is Smoking banned at Public Places???

Sorry Mr. Y.C Devashwar(Chairman,ITC Limited...) for the decision of the Health Minister,every public place is a NO SMOKING ZONE... in the overall turnover of ITC , Wills has got a major share, they are leaders in Ciggarette Manufacturing and sales... but ITC expected this kind of situation one day and like a smart company they never had a reliance on it... they are in various businesses like the clothing with Wills lifestyle and the high flying John Players, they are into FMCG with superia and Sunfeasttt.... Well, frankly speaking ,big businesses never fear with these kinds of bans, it is always the middle man who has to face a twisted music... It is the middle man who has to face the problems...

ITC can manufacture less, but think abt the lacs of Panwalas who have their meals reliant on the selling of ciggarettes, there's no ban on smoking, but for sure , reduction in the public smoking would affect them.... but these questions or situations would arise if Smokin gets banned in reality... :-):-):-):-)

Few questions for u???
1. Did u find the level of smoking reduced??
2.Any change in the polution level??
3. Any reductin in number of cancer patients??

Well, i m no authority to criticize the decisions of govt, neither i have a command over the reasons for not imposing the ban, but imposing a ban in a 115 crore populated country is not tht easy.. either a ban on the supply of ciggarette can solve the purpose of health woes or a complete ban on the smokin is meaningful... imposing a public ban is a half hearted effort... I see a lot of ppl still doing smokin at public places , i try a lot to say them tht it is illegal now, but i cant.. because there's a problem of empowerment, i am not empowered to take an action, by the time i report the illicit behaviour of a person, he'll vanish.. u r left with no option except sayin to yourself tht it was illegal...

I m not in favour of smoking ,its one of the worst things i find... i hate ppl for smokin, i am just irritated when someone smokes in front of me... even at the time of raggin in hostel, i dared to say my seniors not to smoke(atleast in my front), but the question is... how the ban on public smokin going to help ppl... if we Indians would have been so law obeyin , we would not require some many IPC sections..

Law has been created... Question like alwys is the enforcement.. u cant run around 50crore ppl(approx this number of ppl smoke in India)... how many authorities would look after it.. The mechanism is tough.. Cigarrette is an addiction,, no one can leave smoking in a day... Empowering ppl is not possible too....

Above all, the most thought provokin question is ??? What is a public place???

Act has a narrow meanin for it... but every place can be a public place.. for a landlord , his house is a private place... he can smoke there... bt to his tenants who are staying with him , it can be a public place....

Point to ponder is ... Is Smoking really banned at public places??? Is it worth being banned??? I m sure a lot many of my readers would be having a different opinion on it.. i m seeking such kind of opinions..Please add comments...!!!

Stay Healthy..

Give reasons to smile :-)

Everyone in his life has a wrap of worries and concerns, Someone is worried for his career, someone has a family related issue, lot many are strucked in business, few are just too busy with the tension of studies, a lot many are busy with the tensions in friendship and amongst the friends... In my opinion, giving others a reason to worry is an easy task, it takes just fw minutes to hurt anyone, slap him, hit him, say him something undesired, it'll solve the purpose... but for spreading smiles something extra needs to be done.. it is difficult to manage tears than to bring them from someone's eyes. its too difficult to make others laugh from the heart... Looking at few of my peers ( not my close ones frm instt) , i find ppl changin for their parents, why do we tend to forget them ? when we grow? , why our friends become more important in a way tht they take a pie from the share of our moms and dads.. how many times do we think before saying a lie to our moms and dads. Hw do we ...

YTD..EOD... EUGMP... CRAMS... NON BETA Synthesis.:-)

On my c-pad(Old model m2000 Compaq Presario)...I am writing after long...Have two reasons for it, which i'll like to hide from you:) Life is moving at a pace with work,life,Family,Friends each getting muddled in 24*60*60 seconds of the day.. :):(, Yes each facet demands its time, but as of now work takes it all:), and it is not wrong too... As at the EOD Work has to pay back something... It was the end of week 3 for my new journey that made me see few new words(Both in day and night): EOD- End Of Day YTD- Year till Date GMP-Good Manufacturing Practices and so on... Yeah, getting connected to the Pharma buzz, Things are interesting in some ways but quite exasperating on the other side, My dreams see me finding the cost of cephalosporins, SSPs and many more... The names that i could never ever see again in last 5 years, Someday a name came 'Pencillin' and i went back 10 years and realized that we are talking about the same Pencillin that was discovered by every Child...

New Journey!!! - Plannin to write my blog

Well, I m no Amitabh Bachhan, No Aamir Khan, tht ppl will be reading my blog or will be finding it worth reading. All i know is tht i am getting inspired from Ankur to write it. This is my opening post meant to be read for ppl close to me.   Its 10:10pm now, September 25 th 2008 , I have decided to replicate the high flying Blogging concept whilst I know I have the slightest listeners. Holidays have started, No great work to do these days, except getting inclined to TV and gossips, ‘Roz ki faaltu baatein’ would be the core activity in my list regularly till 5 th October.   Will be missing my college buddies, Its always a dependence tht gets created when you meet the same ppl regularly, The best and worst part of “Chhutiyan-Holidays’ is the “ending/missing of monotonous routine” , on one side I m happy tht this break would end up my daily 9 to 6 college routine and on the same time I will be / already started missing my friends and foes J . Tension mat lo, foes are an import...
