A ban on smoking tobacco in public is coming into force in India.

Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss says he aims to cut the number of smokers and to protect passive smokers from the harmful effects of tobacco.

India has more than 120 million smokers and observers say the ban will need to be strictly enforced. Those flouting it face fines of 200 rupees ($4.50).

I think this is great news.

It's great to see a progressive country that is also peaceful.

I can't wait to see how this will be implemented.

Let's see if it works though, it's easy for a police force to accept bribery in an overpopulated country but you never know.

India will soon become the country the rest of the world looks up to.

Happy Navaratri
