Chandigarh on Its Way to Becoming the First Smoke Free City in India!

A number of campaigns and programs are being regularly done in order to make the population realize the deadly capabilities of tobacco. However, inspite of the hue and cry and efforts there has been little improvement as the percentage of people addicted to smoking is only increasing. Now all that is in the hands of the governments and the related authorities is that they take regulatory measures against the addiction of smoking. Most countries of the world have banned smoking in the public places and even in the cars. A lot of rules and regulations have also been imposed on the buying and sale of tobacco. Smoking has also been banned in personal cars if the car happens to be carrying a child in some places in the US.

Smoking is the addiction that is wrecking the lives of majority of the people. Not to mention the innumerable diseases, some of them really deadly. In addition, smoking also has the characteristic of passive harmfulness. Smoking is an addiction that has engulfed the maximum number of people in its deadly trail. Its cheap rate is also a contributing factor to the large coverage area of the cigarettes in particular and tobacco in general.

There have been strict and stringent regulatory measures in order to stop the possibilities of passive smoking as much as possible. Bars, pubs, restaurants, parking lots, school and hospital areas, parks all have been made free from the vices of smoking. In some places these rules are followed religiously and any such person, who dares to breach these regulations, is punished severely. However, in certain countries and in certain places rules are not followed as they are supposed to be followed. People give a damn to all the rules and do as they will. Rules and regulations are only thought to ordain the papers.

This is a kind of impression that is very often applied to India. India is a country where because of its huge population and widespread corruption it sometimes becomes very difficult for the authorities to implement rules and to keep a check that they are followed properly. But it seems that is not the case with Chandigarh, a beautiful city located in the northern part of India. The Chandigarh government has seen to the fact that its rules are known by one and all and also followed properly. It is about time that the image that rules are only on the paper in India is changed. And the steps taken by the authorities Chandigarh in the field of no smoking are commendable. Recently, about 764 people were fined as they were spotted smoking in public places where smoking has been banned. Chandigarh is all set to become the first smoke free city in a country where smoking is very widespread.

In case you reside in the area and are keen to quit smoking, you can take assistance from quit smoking aids like the Pfizer chantix. The no smoking drugs have indeed been a boon for the people of west. Quit smoking drug Chantix has also been made available in the online pharmacies both for the convenience of the people. One can buy chantix online if the same has been prescribed by a doctor. Remember that these drugs work best only when they are complemented by will power and mental strength so buy chantix only when you are sure that you want to quit else you will waste your time as well as money!
