The document discusses tobacco legislation in India. It notes that effective tobacco control in other countries has been achieved through multi-pronged strategies like raising taxes, health warnings, advertising bans, and access to cessation therapies. India has a short history of tobacco legislation, with early bills focused on developing the tobacco industry rather than control. While some states have enacted public smoking bans, national legislation has been limited. However, in 2001 the Indian government proposed a new comprehensive national bill that would ban public smoking and tobacco advertising, increase health warnings, and impose stricter penalties for violations.
A presentation by Hemant Goswami on How tobacco industry have managed to manipulate the public health agenda over the years. Quoting from the tobacco industry documents itself, Hemant demonstrated the tactics the industry uses to plant tobacco control legislations themselves to prevent any effective and powerful legislation from coming into effect.
Example of how Indian Tobacco Control law has been weakened by the industry influence has also been given by Hemant in the presentation.

Tobacco continues to suffer from the regulations as there is ample evidence of the risks associated with smoking. Governments made tobacco regulations strict since the 1990s when the ingredients in cigarettes were made public.

Impact of the 2009 Tobacco Act on the access and consumption of itMalikPinckney86
Impact of the 2009 Tobacco Act on the access and consumption of it by young adults in Miami-Dade County of the State of FLORIDA.
Chapter One Introduction
Despite a substantial decline in the number of people who smoke, tobacco use remains the leading cause of chronic illness and death in the United States today, as it has been for decades. The Tobacco Control Law; It is the law in the United States that was passed to provide some regulations and restrictions on the use and consumption of tobacco. It was signed and approved by President Barack Obama on June 22, 2009. The main objective of the law was to make various modifications and regulations on the consumption and sale of tobacco. The law has achieved several achievements and implementations in the maintenance and regulation of the consumption and use of tobacco in the United States. Since the implementation period, it has created tobacco awareness through the packaging of tobacco products. Thanks to awareness, tobacco use has been minimized, this law regulates the manufacture, distribution and marketing of tobacco products in order to protect the public and create a healthier future. After voters passed a constitutional amendment that bans smoking in workplaces and restaurants, but not in bars, the state of Florida became one of the first to adopt smoke-free policies in the United States (Grattan, Schmitt and Porter, 2020). Local efforts to protect people from secondhand smoke continued after the law was passed in other areas. For example, are there smoke-free policies or tobacco in 28 Florida colleges and universities. In addition, the state's 16 public housing authorities have adopted a smoke-free policy (Nonnemaker et.al, 2021). Tobacco prevention and control activities are a public health problem in the state of Florida, as evidence-based state tobacco control programs have led to fewer smokers, fewer illnesses and fewer deaths tobacco related.
1.1 Research problem
In the state of Florida, most adults are addicted to cigarettes and become daily smokers before the age of 18. The sooner a person becomes addicted to tobacco products, the longer they will be exposed to hundreds of harmful chemicals (Martinasek et. Al, 2015). While it is certainly beneficial, concentrating most of the preventive effort through the Tobacco Law, as has been done in the last decade, proper implementation is necessary since its designed intention is to protect young adults with high consumption of tobacco. tobacco.
1.2 Justification and relevance of the study
Youth and adult smoking behavior has increased due to access and exposure to tobacco products in shops in their daily lives. The tobacco law provides us with information on particular conditions that affect public health, referring to the Florida Statutes of 2011 Part II that addresses indoor air and tobacco smoke (Florida Senate, 2021). The law has gained momentum throughout Florida as a statewide campaign that seeks to raise awareness with the ...

Introduction to the Queensland Cancer Fund.
From a desperate need in the community during the 1960’s to address concerns regarding cancer, the Queensland Cancer Fund (QCF) was born. Forty years on, the QCF is strategising to continue raising funds to combat the dreaded disease and supply sufficient treatment facilities for cancer patients. The organisation remains a ‘not for profit’ firm, although employing a range of professional staff for the services provided. The activities conducted by the QCF are diverse, but structured to allow the organisation to achieve its aims that include advancing cancer research and treatment and to increase community awareness of cancer. Similarly, research into cures for cancer, facilities for patients, cancer help lines and education programs all represent key areas that the QCF are involved in.
Environmental Tobacco Smoke
This submission addresses the concerns of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in public places, namely pubs, clubs, casinos and restaurants that causes illness and death to workers and patrons. Research is extensive and supports the long held belief that tobacco smoke is harmful. It is fact that over 4000 chemicals are contained in tobacco smoke including tar, addictive nicotine, carbon monoxide and carcinogens that cause cancer (Jarred, 2001:2 and AHMAC, 2000:3). Passive smoking, as ETS is often referred to, occurs when non-smokers inhale smoke that is either exhaled or emitted by smokers. For the thousands of hospitality workers and patrons exposed to ETS in licensed premises, the proposed review by the Government of the Queensland Tobacco and Other Smoking Products Act 2001 is extremely overdue.
Key Developments
Scientific research first began to appear during the 1970’s linking passive smoking and respiratory diseases but it wasn’t until 1981 that medical research on the effects of passive smoking was first published (Hirayama cited Jarred, 2001:16). Decades later in 1995, the Herron Report recommended that smoking not to be permitted in enclosed places including restaurants and hotels. Further, the report suggested the inclusion of outdoor areas specifically for smokers and that employees not be forced to service these areas (PEHS, 2000: 4). A few years later, the National Tobacco Strategy 1999-2002/3 was endorsed by all State and Commonwealth Health and Police Ministers with the major aim being the reduction of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. The Queensland Tobacco Action Plan 2000/01 – 2003/04 emerged soon a ...
Hemant Goswami talked about the "Economics of Smokeless Form of Tobacco." This presentation is part of the talk about how smokeless variant of tobacco is overtaking the smoked version of tobacco. Strategies and possible actions are also being discussed.
1. Tobacco legislation in India
Effective tobacco control in other parts of the world has been
achieved via multipronged strategies focusing on reducing the
demand for tobacco products (16–18). These strategies
include the following: raising taxes; publishing and disseminating information about the adverse health
effects of tobacco,
including adding prominent health warning labels to products;
imposing comprehensive bans on advertising and promotion;
restricting smoking in workplaces and public places; and
extending access to nicotine replacement alternatives and other
cessation therapies (17, 18).
These demand reduction strategies are typically accomplished through national legislation. In India,
health legislation
has been historically (and perhaps more practically) enacted at
the state level. National legislation has been reserved for major
issues requiring country-wide uniformity (16).
India has a short history of tobacco-related legislation.
The first national level bills were introduced not to curtail but
to build a foundation for the tobacco industry and enable it to
be competitive on the international market. Early attempts to
enact tobacco control legislation were insufficient and only
recently has there been significant impetus to come up with a
multifaceted national control measure (19).
Pro-tobacco legislation dates back to 1975 with the
Tobacco Board Act, introduced to develop the tobacco
industry (20). It facilitated the regulation of production and
2. curing of tobacco, fixed minimum prices, and provided
subsidies to tobacco growers; the objective was to develop the
Indian tobacco market and make the industry export
competitive (21). Similarly, the Tobacco Cess Act of 1975
was enacted to collect duty on tobacco for the development of
the tobacco industry (21). Anti-tobacco advocates have criticized these Acts because they nurtured the
tobacco
industry through subsidies and loose export policies (21, 22).
India’s first national level anti-tobacco legislation was the
single-faceted Cigarettes Act of 1975, which mandated health
warnings on cigarette packets and on cigarette advertisements
(23). This Act prescribed all packages to carry the warning
‘‘Cigarette smoking is injurious to health’’ in the same language
used in the branding on the package. The text was to be a
minimum of 3 mm in height, irrespective of the dimensions of
the surface on which it appeared or of the dimensions of the
brand name (21). While this Act was a major step in tobacco
control, it did not apply to non-cigarette tobacco products.
In the years following the Cigarettes Act of 1975, there
were a number of other single-faceted national attempts at
controlling tobacco use. For instance, in statutes dealing with
the preservation of the environment, the Prevention and
Control of Pollution Act of 1981 included smoking in the
definition of air pollution (23). The Motor Vehicles Act of 1988
made it illegal to smoke or spit in a public vehicle (23). Finally,
the Cable Television Networks Amendment Act of 2000
3. prohibited the transmission of tobacco, liquor, and baby food
commercials on cable television across the country (24).
Many state-level governments in India have imposed
different types of tobacco control legislation. The Delhi
government was the first to impose a ban on smoking in public places, with the Delhi Prohibition of
Smoking and Nonsmokers Health Protection Act of 1996 (25). In addition to
prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to minors and prohibiting sale
100 m from a school building, this law allowed for enforcement
in public places and public transport by the police and medical
professionals. A first time offender is fined 100 rupees
(US$ 2.40) and briefed by the police or medical officer about
the law and the negative health consequences of tobacco use.
As expected, it has been difficult to enforce this ambitious
programme, and it has probably had little real impact — the key
problem being lack of manpower to enforce the law (26, 27).
Other states too have enacted bans on public smoking.
For example, in 1999 the Kerala High Court came out with a
judgement prohibiting smoking in public places, including
parks and highways (27, 28). Similarly, the state of Goa
introduced anti-tobacco legislation in 1999. Following intense
lobby from pro-tobacco groups the final legislation was a
diluted version of the original bill, but did maintain an
important provision that banned smoking in public places (29).
Spitting of residues from chewing tobacco in public places was
also prohibited by the legislation. In the past 12 months, the
states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh have banned the
4. marketing and sales of guthka.
In February 2001, Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee’s
Union Cabinet introduced the Cigarettes and other Tobacco
Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of
Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution)
Bill, a multifaceted anti-tobacco legislation to replace the
Cigarettes Act of 1975 (30). Smoking in public places would be
outlawed, the sale of tobacco to persons below 18 years of age
would be prohibited, and tobacco packages would be required
to have warnings the same size as that of the largest text in
English or the local language. The proposed national Bill would prohibit tobacco companies from
advertising and sponsoring
sports and cultural events. Significantly, this Bill covers most
tobacco products including not only cigarettes, but also cigars,
bidis, cheroots, cigarette tobacco, pipe tobacco, hookah
tobacco, chewing tobacco, pan masala, and guthka.
The consequences of violating the laws under the Bill are
far more stringent than with the original 1975 Act. Defying the
ban by smoking in public places such as streets, parks or
government complexes will be fined up to 200 rupees (US$ 4).
The same fine applies to vendors who sell tobacco to minors
(under-18-year-olds). A second-time offence will result in a
fine of 100 000 rupees (US$ 2000) and imprisonment for up to
3 years (30).
