@Aditya that is the anomaly in the system. Let me explain:

Cigarettes – Manufacturing; sales = revenues+jobs

People suffering from Cigs= revenues to docs & hospitals.

IMAO this ban is a half hearted attempt against the problem; if they are so against it, ban the production and sale of cigarettes outside colleges.

IMAO if they are so against smoking, ban the production/import/sale of cigarettes. PERIOD.

Yes, I know that the sale of cigarettes generates a lot of revenue and employment. The kind of money that the junta and the government spend on medical treatments for ailments due to smoking (active and passive) far outweighs the revenue earned.

Bombay too has the 100mtr regulation but the thing is that the pan walas find a corner not far from the college. Funny thing is that it also happens to be the hangout for teachers.

@Ashwin, my only fear is that the spirit should not die down in some weeks. This will take some time to come into place, till then these guys will have to make sure it is adhered to.

@Rajbir, very true and the worst part we can’t do much about it.
