Though I am a little late, let me quote this nice move done by Kerala Government. It's the second state after Madhya Pradesh to ban pan masala and gutka.

This is very good news. In view of health hazards, all tobacco products should be banned all over the country. Mere warning on pack does not suffice.
Yes, of course. Also, it's the duty of every citizen to co-operate with government's activity to make that ban successfully implemented in the state.
this is a good thing which government has done. I wish same rule come into my state also. If they issue such rule for liquor also mean it will more good
I always think that there should be ration or a specific quota for liquor. By this way, over usage of liquor can be brought under control. Isn't it? But Government never do so, since they got a lot of tax from Excise department
Once it is banned in our country after it is opened many members became addicted to it. This is really a good thing.
Great news. Pan masala is affects people a lot. Wonderful news.
If if it's done all over India including all tobacco products, it will really be a nice effort

Liquor differs from tobacco. Let us restrict our discussion to this only. As regards revenue, tobacco industry also gives lot of revenue to central and state governments. But the revenue earned is offset by expenses on health care as tobacco kills and causes cancer. Kerala Government must be commended for the bold step. Other states should follow Kerala.

Yes sure.

Actually why men always go away from talks of liquor? :P :P ;)
That is good news, although that would still be available for extra payment.
Yes, hoping government will make rules strict so that it will be banned completely
They have a strict rule to not to sell tobacco products in rails or stations but every where baring a few every product is available openly.
Happy news is that check posts are made more strict. Let me wish the government all the very best to make it a big success!!!
