The Delhi Government has decided to completely ban the selling, distribution and transportation of tobacco containing Gutka products in the Capital. Gutka has been related to the cause of many diseases including mouth and throat cancer besides insomnia and hypertension. We welcome the step taken by the Government and hope that it comes into effect very soon.

Even UP is going to implement a ban on Gutka from April 1, 2013. The decision was made after HC orders.
But do you think it would be implemented there? :laugh:
I don't think they would be able to make it law there as the law makers too there eat Gutka what will they do then?. :laugh:
All MLA.s do not consume Gutkha. Gutkha is banned in many states. That is why they brought an advertisement alleging that cigarette lobby is being favored. Even if politicians and those in power may have weaknesses, they know what law is good and they enact and implement. That is why we have so much law.
In my state Rajasthan also banned Gutka before few months but it still available. After banned shopkeeper is charging double price for it. Indeed government is not honest to enforce this law. :(
It is happening even in Delhi as still one can find it from any shop may the law needs to be enforced strictly now. :blink:
I have seen the interview of CM of Delhi, Sheila Dikshit, on National Channel where she has said that gutka and tobacco is banned in Delhi.
Yes officially it is banned but still many people are selling it not openly. I think it takes time for people too to change when some new law is passed similarly it looks it will take time to follow it. :)

Pan Masala, Gutkha are treated as 'food products'. Gutkha is a mixture of 'food' and 'tobacco'. This has been banned in fourteen states. Cigarettes and Bidis are not food products but pure tobacco products. So, these are different and not banned.

I welcome the move. But i would like to know how effectively it's going to be implemented.. Because we are well known for introducing a law and forgetting about it very next day.
