Reports: Standing Committee recommends ban on sale of single cigarettes to curb tobacco consumption

The government may soon ban the sale of loose cigarettes. The Standing Committee of Parliament has recommended a ban on selling single cigarettes to curb the use of tobacco products, as per various reports. The Standing Committee of Parliament argued that the sale of loose cigarettes is affecting the tobacco control campaign. The committee also recommended doing away with the smoking zone from all airports in the country.

If the government acts on the recommendations of the Standing Committee, Parliament may soon ban the sale and manufacture of single cigarettes.

The Government had banned the sale and usage of e-cigarettes at the recommendation of the Health Ministry three years ago.
