Letters Screen smoking ban
Though the ban on smoking in films is a welcome move, it is unlikely to make individuals kick the habit, just as the statutory warning on cigarette packs has failed to do. Besides, smoking is not the only social-ill. What about the sex and violence that dominate movies?
K.V. Seetharamaiah Hassan ***
This has reference to the article "Smoking off films, TV from Oct 2" (Business Line, June 16). To think that one can stop people from smoking altogether by a mere ban is like cutting off only a branch from a poisonous tree, which will only grow back. Instead of a ban, the government, should impose stringent rules on the cultivation of tobacco and sale of tobacco products. V. Sundaralingam Vellore
