Essential aspects of tobacco control laws
The rationale for the following under the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 2003 and the role of enforcement officers in this regard is discussed:
Ban on smoking in public places;
THE CABLE TELEVISION NETWORKS (REGULATION) ACT 1995 : Ban on advertisements of tobacco products;
Prohibition of sale of tobacco products to and by minors; and
Specified health warning labels on all tobacco products

Conclusion
Taking into account the socio-economic environment and the prevalent infrastructure for educating the masses about the abuse of tobacco, it is suggested that exhaustive community based development programme be formulated and implemented in a phased manner.
For IEC activities, our target audience is poor people who are literate or semi literate.
Among youth, target should be out of school, employed or homeless children.
They are most difficult to reach segments of the population and difficult to work with but we need to make difference there.
