Will Anbumani look at this?


Its good that WHO has initiated a program to curb smoking atleast in its office. It has done so that the efforts taken to reduce smoking among people should first start with itself.

And here in our India, Anbumani Ramdoss, our honorable Health Minister who wants to ban smoking says "Film actors have a lasting impact on the minds of children and young adults" This, he says, is to "protect the lives of millions of children who could be addicted to smoking under the influence of movies." He mutters that "It is surprising that the media has not been on my side. Newspapers have described me `foolish,’ `senseless’ and `childish’ without even getting into the gravity or the extent of the problem or realizing that even their children could fall prey to it."

His intentions are very much to be appreciated,
but will he take hard steps to curb smoking in his(father’s) party and that will he urge his father to allow only non smokers to become members of party...

If this is done, definitely the media and the whole India will understand him...
