Note that if this bill becomes law, no vendor will be able to sell tobacco products to anyone under the age of 21, male or female. Not only that, but there should not be a drug store within 100 meters of the educational institution.
Section 7 of the bill states that it must be sold as a packet in the coming days. That is the minimum amount. Separately, even if retail cigarettes are sold, it will be considered a crime. If the bill becomes law, it could lead to up to five years in prison or a fine of up to Rs 500,000 in the future.
