Call to implement laws against smoking
Merely passing laws to prohibit smoking in the public places won't do any good to the society unless its strict implementation is not ensured by the government. This was opined by Dr Bhaben Choudhury, chief consultant of the newly started Tobacco Cessation Clinic of Sanjivani Hospital at Maligaon here. Dr Choudhury, while interacting with media persons on the hazardous impact of tobacco on health, revealed that while the western countries are strictly opt for nicotine-free cigarettes, here in India, the quantity of tobacco in one cigarette can go up to 9.72 micrograms.
