New Delhi: Next time you wish to light a cigarette in a public place in the national capital, think twice. You could well be issued a challan by the Delhi police that has launched an anti-smoking campaign under the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA). More than 700 people have been issued challans for smoking in public places since the drive was launched in mid-February. The Delhi police is issuing challans directly for the first time under COTPA which prohibits smoking in public places, sale of tobacco products to minors, and sale of tobacco products within 100 yards of educational institutions.
