Smoking in public places in India is banned on October 2, 2008, under the Prohibition of Smoking in Public Places Rules, 2008, and the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA).

Meanwhile, India unveils two new tax bills in parliament on Monday, aiming to overhaul levies on ''sin goods'' such as tobacco, a spice mix known as pan masala, and other items, ahead of next year's phase-out of a Goods and Services Tax (GST) compensation cess.
