Non-Smokers Act, 2001

This law aims to protect public health by banning smoking in public places and on public transport. It applies to a wide range of locations including hospitals, schools, courts, restaurants, and other public buildings, as well as public service vehicles. The legislation strictly prohibits smoking in these designated areas, restricts the advertising of tobacco products, and bans the sale of cigarettes or beedies to anyone under eighteen years of age. Violations can result in fines, and in some cases imprisonment, ensuring a safer environment for non-smokers and preventing youth access to tobacco.
