RAMADOSS-The Ban Man for a good cause??

FROM BAN ON SMOKING TO BAN ON ALL TOBACCO PRODUCTS??

Chennai, October 2: Buoyed by the ban on smoking in public places that went into force across the country on Thursday, a jubilant Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss said his next big wish is to see a ban on all tobacco products.

Ramadoss, who persisted with his dream of enforcing the ban on smoking, unfazed by criticism from top Bollywood actors like Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan to members of civil society, took part in the campaign to publicise the salient provisions of the law banning smoking in public places.
Distributing pamphlets highlighting the ban to passengers at a bus terminus here, Ramadoss said "my intention and my aim is to make India a tobacoo-free nation. But I do not have the power to do so."
He said 152 countries had signed a WHO-supported international agreement to ban the production of tobacco products in a phased manner.
