In July 2007, smoking in public places,
such as bars, restaurants and
workplaces, was made illegal to protect
non-smokers from the health risks
associated with passive smoking.

children under age group of 16 years.
Parents should not smoke inside the
house as it affects the health of the children
badly.
70% of the smokers think that the
smoking can be restricted if rules are
