Smoking Ban Consensus Reached

The Union Health and I&B Ministries have got together and arrived at a consensus on the smoking ban.

Diluting the government's earlier order, the ban on images portraying smoking will now be applicable only on films made after October 2 this year.

However, films that show an historical era or a historical personality smoking, will be exempt from the ban.
...
But smoking will be banned in all new television serials. Older television serials, which depict smoking scenes, will have to run a scroll conveying a statutory warning on the harmful effects of smoking.

I said so.
