Manipur to ban tobacco products





The Manipur Cabinet has decided to ban sale of cigarettes and all tobacco products in Manipur. The government is to issue a notification in this regard. In the past, the government had banned smoking at public places.


However, the order was never enforced. Manipur records the second highest number of persons who are hooked to smoking and tobacco in the NE region.
