New Delhi: In a major setback to the smokers, the Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice to the Centre and all states on a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking a ban on cigarettes and bidis in the country.
There is already a ban on selling cigarettes and bidis near educational institutions and to those under the age of 18 years.
