India Bans Smoking @ Public Places
きつえん だめ
The Indian government has imposed a complete ban on smoking in public places. It's hoped the ban will help bring down the number of deaths caused by tobacco use every year.
The new regulations specify the places where smoking will be prohibited, including hotels, restaurants, pubs, discotheques, hospitals and airports.
People will continue to be allowed to smoke in their private homes, on the roads and in open spaces like parks.
The fine for violating the ban will be 5 US dollars, with plans to raise it to 25 US dollars in the future.
A recent study by a team of doctors and scientists from India, Canada and Britain estimated there are currently about 120 million smokers in India.
The study showed that India is in the grips of a smoking epidemic that is likely to cause nearly a million deaths a year by 2010

A Condom Ringtone for Mobile Phones courtesy BBC & Gates Foundation
The BBC World Service Trust has launched a ringtone campaign to promote the use of condoms in India, where about 2.5 million people are living with HIV.
The central message of the "condom condom" campaign being run on radio, TV and the Internet is that “smart men use condoms”.
A scene in the TV ad, a mobile ringtone buzzes with a loud refrain "condom! condom!" during a wedding.
Though the man holding the mobile feels it embarrassing, those around him consider him to be a smart and responsible person.
